9Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- DSIG major completed research, includes
- Risk Assessment Methods
- Seepage and Erosion
10Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Risk Analysis Research
- A seven year research project that resulted in
the book Risk and Uncertainty in Dam Safety,
published by Thomas Telford 2004, ISBN 0727732706 - Part I - Guiding Principles
- Part II - Commentary on Risk Analysis
- Part III - Theoretical Considerations
11Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Seepage and Internal Erosion
- Developed 3 engineering tools to detect seepage
and erosion - Water temperature
- Streaming potential
- Resistivity measurement
12Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Seepage and Internal Erosion
- This project resulted in 8 reports, including
- A parameter Study for Internal Erosion Monitoring
- Self Potential Field Data Acquisition Manual
- Laboratory Testing of the Streaming Potential
Phenomenon in Soils - SP Interpretation Manual
- Resistivity Interpretation Manual
- Long-Term Resistivity and Self Potential
Monitoring of Embankment Dams Experiences from
Hallby and Sadva Dams, Sweden - Engineering Seismic Surveys at a Test Embankment
Near Seven Sisters, Manitoba - A Study of Through-Dam Seismic Testing at WAC
Bennett Dam - In addition, two software packages were
developed, SP3D and DamTemp
13Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Major Projects in Progress
- Erosion and Breaching
- Non-Destructive Anchor Testing
- Debris Management during Floods

Performance (PTO) - Multi-Fractal Estimates of Flood Frequency
- Reliability of Discharge Facilities
14Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Erosion and Breaching
- Phase I - Assemble Data
- Dam erosion failures
- Lab tests
- Assemble and evaluate mathematical formulations
and numerical - models of erosion
- Phase II - Develop Predictive Model
- Evaluate and select numerical erosion model
- Incorporate into HEC-RAS flow model

15Dam Safety Interest Group (DSIG)
- Non-Destructive Anchor Tests
- Uses Spectral Time Domain Reflectometry
- New instrument developed
- Could detect cuts in 1 of 5 strands of a 200
long anchor - Instrument needs lower frequency/longer
integration
