Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper discusses a risk evaluation for earth-fill dams due to heavy rains. The detailed method employs a flood analysis and land use data to calculate the costs of the inundation damage in the downstream areas of earth-fill dams. The procedure to calculate the damage costs requires a lot of labour. Since a huge number of earth-fill dams exist in Japan, a straightforward method is needed. The response surface method, one of the surrogate models, is proposed in this study to reduce the calculation effort. The optimum response surface is firstly evaluated by cross validation, and then the accuracy is verified by comparing the damage costs obtained by the response surface method with those obtained by the detailed method for the earth-fill dam sites. To calculate the risks, it is necessary to determine the probability of overflow failure due to heavy rains. The risk of breaching is calculated from the product of the probability of overflow failure and the estimated damage costs. The accuracy of the response surface method is assessed by comparing the risk rankings of the dams, which is the priority in dam renovations, between the detailed and the response surface methods.
期刊介绍:
Georisk covers many diversified but interlinked areas of active research and practice, such as geohazards (earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, rockfalls, tsunamis, etc.), safety of engineered systems (dams, buildings, offshore structures, lifelines, etc.), environmental risk, seismic risk, reliability-based design and code calibration, geostatistics, decision analyses, structural reliability, maintenance and life cycle performance, risk and vulnerability, hazard mapping, loss assessment (economic, social, environmental, etc.), GIS databases, remote sensing, and many other related disciplines. The underlying theme is that uncertainties associated with geomaterials (soils, rocks), geologic processes, and possible subsequent treatments, are usually large and complex and these uncertainties play an indispensable role in the risk assessment and management of engineered and natural systems. Significant theoretical and practical challenges remain on quantifying these uncertainties and developing defensible risk management methodologies that are acceptable to decision makers and stakeholders. Many opportunities to leverage on the rapid advancement in Bayesian analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other data-driven methods also exist, which can greatly enhance our decision-making abilities. The basic goal of this international peer-reviewed journal is to provide a multi-disciplinary scientific forum for cross fertilization of ideas between interested parties working on various aspects of georisk to advance the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice.
