Engineering Analysis
From ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox
Engineers use many methods to analyze existing or proposed dams. This includes hand calculations, empirical methods, and computational methods or software. The complexity and data/resource requirements of these various analytic procedures varies greatly depending on the application and desired output. The following is a list of engineering analyses that are commonly used in design of new dams or the assessment of existing dams:
- Hydraulic Analysis
- Hydrologic Analysis
- Seepage Analysis
- Slope Stability Analysis
- Structural Analysis
- Risk Analysis
