Original Abstract

The formalized method for the safety analysis of dams following the particular limit states is not described in any available literature yet. Adopting uniform method involves classification of possible failures of dams. This article describes the approach for classification of possible failures of hydraulic structures, namely dams. First the databases of both theoretically possible and real cases of failures was created for both gravity and embankment dams. Then the formalized list of failures was assembled based on potential failures with focus on case studies. This list of failures will assist for the further safety analysis of hydraulic structures using the limit states method.
