More than 800,000 dams and thousands of kilometers of dikes have
been constructed around the world. These structures are often
designed based on a statistical analysis of the discharge
distribution in rivers. However, the history of construction of
dams and dikes coexists with the history of failures. Hundreds of
dam failure events were reported worldwide in the previous century,
while every year dikes breach due to high flows in the rivers or
for other reasons leading sometimes to catastrophic consequences.
In this book a description is presented of a framework and
techniques for modelling structure failure events as well as a
proposal to several novel approaches for risk analysis and
assessment by numerical, statistical and constrained based methods
in particular to the problems of breach modelling and flood water
mitigation.
