What is Probabilistic Safety Assessment of Dams about?
The document proposes a reliability-based method for assessing the structural safety of gravity dams. It includes the following key points: 1) Probabilistic models are developed to evaluate hydraulic loads and shear strengths, which account for variability. Hydraulic loads are modeled using flood frequency analysis and initial water level distributions. Shear strengths are estimated using a parabolic intrinsic curve model. 2) Reliability methods like First Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Monte Carlo
