Book Description
This document presents Bureau of Reclamation policy pertaining to freeboard allowances for storage dams. This edition of the ACER Technical Memorandum No. 2 is significantly different from the original 1981 edition. This second edition offers a simplified approach to freeboard calculations under certain conditions and suggests a probabilistic approach if the simplified computations are not appropriate. More extensive wind data are also now available to facilitate the use of probability. The wind effects on water have also been revised according to the latest Corps of Engineer's studies. The crest elevations of both new and existing dams may be evaluated on the basis of calculated risk.

Role of Dams and Reservoirs in a Successful Energy Transition
Author: Robert Boes
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1003834779
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1482
Book Description
Today, new and unexpected challenges arise for Europe’s large array of existing dams, and fresh perspectives on the development of new projects for supporting Europe’s energy transition have emerged. In this context, the 12th ICOLD European Club Symposium has been held in September 2023, in Interlaken, Switzerland. The overarching Symposium theme was on the "Role of dams and reservoirs in a successful energy transition". The articles gathered in the present book of proceedings cover the various themes developed during the Symposium: - Dams and reservoirs for hydropower - Dams and reservoirs for climate change adaptation - Impact mitigation of dams and reservoirs - How to deal with ageing dams In conjunction with the Symposium, the 75th anniversary of the Swiss Committee on Dams offered an excellent opportunity to not only draw from the retrospective of Switzerland’s extensive history of dam development, but to also reveal perspectives on the new role of dams for a reliable and affordable energy transition. These aspects are illustrated by several articles covering the various activities, challenges, and concerns of the dam community.

Introduction to Risk and Uncertainty in Hydrosystem Engineering
Author: Ehsan Goodarzi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400758510
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Water engineers require knowledge of stochastic, frequency concepts, uncertainty analysis, risk assessment, and the processes that predict unexpected events. This book presents the basics of stochastic, risk and uncertainty analysis, and random sampling techniques in conjunction with straightforward examples which are solved step by step. In addition, appropriate Excel functions are included as an alternative to solve the examples, and two real case studies is presented in the last chapters of book.
