Özet:

 

Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet  various project demands.  Their roles in both the environment and the  economy of a country are so important that their design and  construction should be carried out with a negligibly small risk.   Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore  variations in the governing variables.  To offset this limitation,  high safety factors are considered that increase the cost of the  structure.  Reliability-based design approaches are probabilistic in  nature since possible sources of uncertainties associated with the  variables are identified using statistical information, which is  incorporated into the reliability models.  Risk analysis with the  integration of risk management and risk assessment is a growing trend  in dam safety assessment.  This study deals with the probabilistic  evaluation of safety of gravity dams.  A computer program based on the  probabilistic treatment of random loading and resistance terms will be  used for the safety analysis.  A case study is conducted to illustrate  the use of this program.
