0232: Activation Guidelines for Dam Safety Emergency Preparedness Plans

CEATI’s Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG) outlined a variety of needs in the field of Emergency Management. One area of particular interest was the organizational, human and technical aspects of activating a dam owner’s emergency plan in the event of a large flood or dam safety incident. This study addresses the key components of the emergency plan activation process. Factors considered include: the organizational structure for a dam owner’s emergency planning f

0226: Investigating the Structural Safety of Cracked Concrete Dams

An international team of engineers experienced in the design of concrete dams was assembled to prepare a report presenting a practical, step by step process for the evaluation of cracking in concrete dams, as well as the determination of the appropriate steps to be taken to address any issues identified by this process and establish/carry out a crack management program for the dam. The report draws upon both the team’s considerable years of experience and publications issued by the ICOLD (

0238: Dam Anchoring Principles

This report presents the authors’ analysis of data on anchor technology for dams. The data sources are principally:• Guidelines and recommendations from U.S., Australian, and European organizations,• Past studies and research into “legacy” anchors, i.e., those installed without contemporary standards of corrosion protection and which now cannot be lift-off tested due to access restraints and/or the absence of a residual free length,• Interviews with anchor specialists from the project’s stakehol

0248: CPF: Floating Debris Management

CEATI and the Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG) intend to update their technical guidance for floating debris management. The current guidance is now 5 to 10 years old. This report intends to ensure that the DSIG guidance is up to date by reviewing the current version of the guide and public technical literature to determine where guidance or tool development are needed. To augment this literature review, interviews have been conducted with a select number of DSIG owners, operators, and others to

0247: Ice Loads on Dams

Part 1This was part one of a three-part project to investigate ice loads on dams. This project consisted of three topics: extreme ice loads and the role of ice physical limits, ice load non-uniformity, and ice loads on small, low-head dams.Extreme ice loads were evaluated using various methods, including (a) empirical assessment, (b) partially-probabilistic, deterministic analyses, and (c) fully-probabilistic analyses. It was concluded that, to obtain realistic results, a fully-probabilistic ana

0209A: Debris Yield Reduction by Management

This volume marks one of a series of reports on the subject of the impact and mitigation of debrisas it affects hydro-electric dams during flood events. These reports are available from CEATIInternational Inc. both separately and as a package. Part 1: Debris Yield Reduction by Management [T052700-0209A/1]The overall objectives of this project were: (a) to investigate existing methods of estimating potentialdebris yield, and (b) to investigate the various measures and practices of debris yie

0254: Best Practices for Dam Breach Inundation Mapping

This report is a best-practices guideline for the development of dam breach inundation maps. A literature review, industry interviews, and gap analysis were performed to identify the state of the industry for developing and using inundation maps. The report is organized according to the steps for performing dam breach inundation studies, documenting the results through reporting and mapping, and using the results as a basis for outreach and emergency action planning.State-of-the-practice methodo

0210: Dam Safety Performance Monitoring and Data Analysis Management - Best Practices

Dr. Ralph Peck, an eminent dam engineer, stated at the International Commission on Large Dams 20th Congress, Beijing, China, in September 2000 that “monitoring of every dam is mandatory, because dams change with age and may develop defects. There is no substitute for systematic and intelligent surveillance.” Over many decades, instruments have been incorporated into dams for various reasons, including verifying theoretical assumptions concerning soil mechanics, monitoring response of
