Download or read book Dam Breach Modeling Technology written by V.P. Singh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dams are constructed for economic development, and their construction involves large investments of money, and natural and human resources. Of the various types of dams constructed around the globe, earth dams are the most common type and constitute the vast majority of dams. When adam fails, it culminates in the sudden release of artificially stored water which, in turn, becomes a potential menace to virtually everything downstream. The dam failure may result in loss of life and property. In recent years, instances of dam failure in the world have been too many, and the resulting loss too high. As a result, dam safety pro grams have been developed in most countries of the world since the beginning of the nineteenth eighties. · Earth dams are more susceptible to failure than other types. The cause of failure is often either overtopping or piping. The modeling of dam breaching due to either or both of these causes is of fundamental importance to development of dam-safety programs. This book is, therefore, an attempt to present some aspects of earth-dam breach modeling technology. It is hoped that others will be stimulated to write more comprehensive texts on this subject of growing interest and importance. The book is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter is introductory and discusses some aspects of dams and dam failures in the world.

Download or read book Dimensionless Graphs of Floods from Ruptured Dams written by John G. Sakkas and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dams are subject to failure and the damages produced by the resulting flood are extensive. Alleviation or prevention of the damaging effects requires the knowledge of the flood characteristics. These include primarily the time of arrival of the flood-wave front, the maximum flood level and the time at which the maximum flood level occurs after dam failure. Using a rational computation technique, based on the method of characteristics, dimensionless graphs of the aforementioned flood characteristics were prepared for a prismatic channel of general parabolic cross section and several values of the parameters involved. These values were selected to cover the practical range of the field conditions affecting the magnitude of the dam-break flood. Results were obtained for such periods of time that the flood peak advanced adequately down-stream and either subsided or stabilized considerably. (Author).
