Dam Safety

目前对灾难性溃坝的关注集中在 设计新大坝的安全目标和可能的改造， 现有水坝。 数十亿美元处于危险之中， 随着时间的推移，灾难的风险增加。 主要 该项目的目标是使低建模 概率/高后果事件、风险分析和管理， 大坝安全经济分析。 工作将被分开 分为以下四个任务：任务1）收集和审查大坝 故障数据;任务2）模拟 大坝运行;任务3）检查比较风险和风险 大坝安全目标;任务4）开发一个经济模型， 将考虑风险管理备选方案，重点是 公众的看法和信息，并将调查 成本效益分析。

Current concern with catastrophic dam failures focuses on the safety goals for designing new dams and on possible retrofit of existing dams. Billions of dollars are at stake and with the passage of time the risk of disaster increases. The main objective of this project is to bring modeling of low probability/high consequence event, risk analysis and management, and economic analysis into dam safety. The work will be divided into four tasks as follows: task 1) collect and review dam failure data; task 2) model the economic and social benefits of dam operation; task 3) examine the comparative risks and risk goals for dam safety; and task 4) develop an economic model that will consider risk management alternatives with emphasis on public perception and information, and will investigate cost/benefit analysis.
