Download or read book Dams: Incidents and Accidents written by K.R. Saxena and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-12-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing number of dams built in the last century has underlined the necessity of these constructions to the all-round development of a country. The advent of rock mechanics, engineering geology and a better understanding of materials have made it possible to construct higher and larger dams and to tackle more difficult sites. The assumptions and risks used in the theory of dam design include such unpredictable events as earthquakes, floods, and geological faults or soft seams, which may be either underestimated or completely missed during initial exploration. Incidents relating to dams are manageable at an early stage, whereas accidents, which are largely unforeseen, result in unexpected behaviour of dams and in catastrophic failures. Investigations conducted to determine the cause of a failure may not reveal the true sequence of events, while expert analyses are often controversial. From the dams that do not fail, of course, we learn nothing. Systematically monitoring the dam’s behaviour from the potential risk stage to the accident event, would allow a hazard-management programme to be implemented, minimising loss of life and property, and provide useful data.

Download or read book Hydrology of Disasters written by V.P. Singh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The General Assembly of the United Nations passed a resolution on December 11, 1987, designating the 1990s as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. This resolution has served as a catalyst in promotion of international cooperation in the field of natural disaster reduction; in initiation of wide-ranging research activities on natural and man-made disasters; in development of tech nologies for assessment, prediction, prevention, and mitigation through technical assistance, technology transfer, demonstration projects, and education and training; and in dissemination of information related to measures for assessment, prediction, prevention, and mitigation of natural disasters. Disasters are manifestations of environmental extremes. Depending upon the type of disasters, their occurrence may have short-term andlor long-term detri mental environmental consequences. Disasters cannot be prevented altogether, but their impact can be mitigated. This book is an attempt to provide a discussion of hydrological aspects of the various types of natural disasters. It is hoped that others will be stimulated to write more comprehensive texts on this subject of enormous importance.
Download or read book Tailings Dams written by and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2001 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tailings are the residue of the milling process for extracting metals for ore. They are mostly commonly dumped in surface impoundments (tailing dams), the embankments of which are usually earthfilled dams. In spite of a number of guidelines to their design and construction there are still major failings each year. This book gathers together 221 case records of incidents in attempt to investigate the causes of failure. The main causes were found to be lack of control of water balance, lack of control of construction, lack of understanding of the feature that control safe operation
