Dam break inundation map** is essential for risk management and mitigation, emergency
action planning, and potential consequences assessment. To quantify flood hazard …

Reliability analysis approach provides a rational means to quantitatively evaluate the safety
of geotechnical structures from a probabilistic perspective. However, it suffers from a known …

Earth dams are widespread throughout the world and their safety has gained increasing
concern from geotechnical engineering societies. Although probabilistic stability analysis …

Dam breaches often have catastrophic consequences in downstream areas. Hydrodynamic
factors and the evacuation potential of the population at risk (PAR) have significant impacts …

Moraine dams, impounding glacial lakes, are among the weak natural dams because of
their slope, freeboard and composition. Glacial lake outburst floods occurring due to the …

Embankments are widespread throughout the world and their safety under seismic
conditions is a primary concern in the geotechnical engineering community since the failure …

Floods are the most destructive natural phenomenon, by the total number of casualties, and
value of property damage, compared to any other type of natural disaster. However, some of …

The scientific evaluation of a dam's economic life is necessary to determine its management
strategy rationally. However, most studies have mainly focused on analyzing the current …

Overtop** failure of earthfill dams is a complex process that involves strong soil–water
coupling and structural failure. Physically based numerical models are essential for …

The similarity brings great convenience to the description of the dam-break flows. The
previous works mainly focus on the similarity of dam-break flows under the condition of dry …
