Daniell, T. M

Contributor(s):

Australia. Hydrology and Water Resources Unit

Material type: Text

TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: JAN 1986Description: 20p., 5 figs, 27 refsSubject: Dam failures will always occur as long as man has dams. How these failures occur is briefly discussed along with the need for engineering judgements to be made in dam failure analyses. Hazard categorisation of the various dams in the ACT, with subsequent modelling studies and results of a hypothetical Googong Dam failure is presented. Googong Dam is used to demonstrate the necessity of minimising the risk of potential damages due to dam failure during construction and the life of the structure by using design criteria, flood warning systems and dam safety and surveillance systems
