Original Abstract

Flood and wind are possible events causing overtopping of dams. The paper is dealing with evaluation of probability of dam breach due to overtopping. Variables, such as initial water level, reservoir volume and spillway and bottom outlet capacity, are assumed as statistical variables. This statistical approach makes possible to include the influence of statistical random variables in the solution. Software is developed to estimate dam failure due to overtopping by means of the Latin Hypercube Sampling. A practical application of the proposed method is carried out in a case study (Koryčany dam).

Key words in English

overtopping, risk analysis, dam breach, Latin Hypercube Sampling
