Risk Estimation

---

“Risk estimates are inherently uncertain, with the nature and amount of uncertainty varying from dam to dam. It is important to acknowledge the uncertainty and put it into the proper context. The following aspects of uncertainty in risk estimates and the dam safety case should be discussed: what is certain; what is likely, but not certain; what is possible, but not likely”.

Components of Risk Estimation

• Loading Conditions
• Breach Estimation
• Structural Response
• Consequence Estimation
