As of 2015, the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) has registered more than 60,000 large dams higher than 15m around the world. Among these, 38,000 are in China. With functions of flood control, irrigation, hydropower, water supply, etc., dams contribute significantly to social-economic development and prosperity. On the other hand, dam failures do occur sometimes and can result in huge loss of life and property. Accordingly dam safety is of great importance to society. China alone has reported more than 3500 cases of failures of constructed dams. In the past 15 years or so. China also faced the mitigation of risks of large landslide dams, particularly those triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.
Dam risk management requires not only a good understanding of dam failure mechanisms and probability, but also rapid evaluation of flood routing time and potential flooding areas.
1. It is the first book that introduces the causes, processes, consequences of dam failures and possible risk mitigation measures in one nutshell: 2. It integrates the physical processes of dam failures and the mathematical aspects of risk assessment in a concise manner; 3. It emphasizes integrating theory and practice to better demonstrate the application of risk assessment and decision methodologies to real cases; 4. It intends to formulate dam-failure emergency management steps in a scientific structure.
