چکیده

This paper analyses a number of aspects related to the estimation of the design flood for a dam. A new approach to the estimation of the probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is described which takes advantage of the spatial variability of precipitation by using radar-derived distributed rainfall measurements. Procedures which utilize storm transposition and storm maximization are introduced to estimate the probable maximum flood (PMF) and are compared with regionalized statistical methods based upon the Wakeby and generalized extreme value distributions. Sécurité des barrages: évaluation de certain méthodes pour l'estimation du débit de la crue du projet Résumé Cet article décrit les nombreux aspects liés à l'estimation des débit de crue de projet pour un barrage. Une nouvelle approche pour l'estimation des precipitations maximales probables (PMP) est décrite. Celle-ci a l'avantage de tenir compte de la variation spatiale des précipitations en utilisant une distribution de pluies obtenue par radar. Des procédures, qui utilisent la transposition et la maximisation des pluies d'orages, introduites pour estimer la crue maximale probable (PMF) ont été comparée avec des méthodes statistiques régionalisées, lesquelles sont basées sur le Wakeby et sur la distribution des valeurs extrêmes généralisées.

Dam safely : an evaluation of some procedures for design flood estimation

Cluckie (1990) states that "when a site has about 40 or 50 years of record it is unlikely to contribute significantly to the improvement of a regionally based statistical estimate by the availability of more data". In the present paper, the authors conclude that "databases with more than 300 station-years can be considered in a quite good condition in terms of quantity of information and that, ...

Determination of the Height and Overtopping failure of Reservoir Dams by Using Reliability Analysis (Case Study: Namrood Dam)

Generally, the design of dams and other hydraulic structures is carried out based on deterministic approaches. However, there are many uncertainties in the estimation of different effective parameters in hydraulic structures design. The inherent uncertainties in these parameters necessitate reliability analysis to ensure the structure stability. In this study, after investigating various uncert...

Analysis of Recorded Rainfall Information for the Purpose of Huff Curves Extraction in the Dez Dam

Identifying the rainfall characteristics and understanding the rainfall-related processes is one of the key factors in the scientific management of water resources. Selection of the design storm is the first step in the estimation of the design flood. Determining temporal rainfall patterns is very important as one of the design rainfall properties in flood estimation and the design of drainage ...

Overtopping is one of the main factors responsible for dam failure. To avoid overtopping, dam is equipped with one or some spillways to release the water impounded in the reservoir. The number and size of these spillways are determined on the basis of design flood. Determination of design flood of dam spillway can be formulated as a multiobjective risk problem. This problem can be solved by Qua...
