Study on the criteria for design flood of dam based on risk analysis
Guo Sheng · Water power · 2003
The conventional guidelines for the flood safety of dam were reviewed. A new method for the selection of criteria for flood safety and design flood, based on risk analysis, was discussed in detail. A risk decision model of criteria for the flood safety of dam was developed under the condition of the constraint that the risk should less than the acceptable risk level. The problem that it was not ethical to measure the value of the person by money could be solved in some degree by introducing the constraint to the model. It is suggested that the criteria based on risk analysis should be used as reference for flood safety guideline.
