Types of Analyses
Engineers use many methods to analyze existing or proposed dams. This includes hand calculations, empirical methods, and computational methods or software. The complexity and data/resource requirements of these various analytic procedures varies greatly depending on the application and desired output. The following is a list of engineering analyses that are commonly used in design of new dams or the assessment of existing dams:
- Hydraulic Analysis
- Hydrologic Analysis
- Seepage Analysis
- Slope Stability Analysis
- Structural Analysis
- Seismic Analysis
- Risk Analysis
- Consequence Analysis
