Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis of Dam (Case Study: Chah Nimeh Dam)

2018, Journal of Ferdowsi Civil Engineering

In the history, Earthquakes have been a major source of many damages and human losses and there has always been a lot of concern about the destruction of large structures such as dams due to significant financial losses and casualties caused by it as well as the uncontrolled release of water in the towns and villages located downstream. Seismic risk analysis, one of the most important methods to deal with earthquake hazards. In this study a type of seismic risk analysis in dams is discussed and used and seismic hazard analysis is conducted for the Chah Nimeh Zabol dam. Semi-quantitative risk analysis for Chah Nimeh Zabol dam by seismic hazard analysis for the location of the dam was conducted which placed it in the medium risk category and there is no requirement to redesign or reinforce the dam body. The results can be used as a guide for seismic risk of the dams.

Among the most important causes of dam failure, overtopping is the main causes. Analysis of dam failure due to overtopping is essential to calculate the failure risk considering the uncertainties. In this study, the application of risk analysis for earth dam failure due to overtopping based on univariate and bivariate flood frequency analysis has been investigated using log-normal distribution for the Tabarak-Abad earth-fill dam located in Khorasan Razavi province of Iran. Considering Qp – V combinations (flood peak discharge - flood volume) for the joint return periods of 50, 100 and 200 years, the results of the bivariate flood frequency analysis have been proposed in the form of six inflow hydrographs. The overtopping risk has been evaluated based on the univariate flood frequency analysis for all hydrographs resulted from bivariate frequency analysis with different return periods and six initial depth of water in the reservoir, considering quantile of flood peak discharge, initial depth of water in the reservoir and discharge coefficient of spillway as uncertain variables. Uncertainty analysis is conducted using Monte Carlo simulation method and Latin hypercube sampling technique. Finally, comparison of univariate and bivariate flood frequency analysis within different periods indicates that bivariate flood frequency analysis method resulted in greater estimated overtopping risk values in all return periods which is accompanied with higher degree of risk. Also, the V1-Q hydrograph, which has the highest volume of flood, is associated with a higher risk in all waterlevels in comparison to other hydrographs. Moreover, to evaluate overtopping risk based on univariate and bivariate frequency analyses, the increasing trend of risk values for rising water level in the reservoir is more tangible than that of increasing return periods. So that at the water level of 66 meters, overtopping risk for the dam is very high.

This paper has focused on landslide hazard and risk zonation in the critical Ziarat watershed. Varnes equation and combination of Hazard map, elements at risk map and vulnerability map were used in the preparation of the risk map. Two quantitative models, including multivariate statistical)logistic regression(and LNRF model were used in the preparation of the hazard map. After applying the rate to the classes of parameters, Landslide hazard zonation was prepared for each of the models. The prior model was selected using four indices, including Quality summation)Qs(, Precision of the predicted results)P(, Receiver Operating Characteristic)ROC(and Chi-Square test and used in preparation of risk zonation. Results indicated that the logistic regression model shows a better performance for landslide hazard zonation and 13.63 and 9.04 percent of Ziarat watershed-including Ziarat village-were located in a high and very high zone of hazard and risk maps respectively.

Reservoirs are among the most important sources of water supply that can affect the quality of water by changing the temperature. Conditions affected by climate change could affect the thermal regime of reservoirs water. This study investigates the temperature variation of water in Aidoghmoush reservoir depths under climatic conditions in the 10-year period of climate change (2030-2039). Temperature and precipitation are extracted by the CGCM2 model (IPCC's Third Assessment Report) under a B2 emission scenario in the 10-year period of time (1991-2000) and then they were estimated for future conditions. In the following, thermal stratification simulation is performed by the CE-QUAL-W2 qualitative model. The results show that the temperature at the water surface and the floor of the reservoir will increase in conditions of climate change relative to the baseline conditions. The water temperature will increase by an average of 1.5 o C. The findings of this study will help managers and planners to optimize water resources management.

Wetland ecosystems are stable ecosystems on earth providing considerable ecosystem characteristics. Wetland ecosystems, especially marine coastal wetlands are among the most important and also the most vulnerable world's environmental resources. Which has always been sensitive to the fragility of coastal areas, high population density, and intensive human activities are faced with the threat of destruction. Although, remarkable advances have been observed in the quantity and valuing some key ecosystem products and the services provided by these habitats, there are still some major challenges, with the lack of sufficient knowledge about the relationship between the changes developed in the structure of the ecosystem and the performance of these ecosystems in providing services being the greatest challenge. Based on this, monitoring the changes trend in wetlands and their surrounding lands can be effective in the management of these valuable ecosystems. Investigating the enviro...

Introduction Ample research has been done on optimization methods for the exploitation of reservoirs in the form of a specific optimization. In this type of studies, a certain series of flow is provided for the reservoir during the operation period and the release from the reservoir to downstream is optimized under such circumstances. They are certain drawbacks for these models. First, optimal solutions cannot be generalized for other possible inputs to the reservoir. Second, in the event of a change in the flow of input into the reservoirs, it is likely that the optimal solutions are not efficient and the operation of the system in the form of an optimization algorithm should be performed again. In such circumstances, one of the solutions is the use of intelligent methods such as support vector machines to apply the results of system optimization in real time. The main goal of this study is to integrate artificial intelligence methods such as support vector machine with NSGA-II opt...

Background and Objective: Performance evaluation and the determination of the effectiveness of management systems, including the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) management system, is inevitable to achieve constant improvement in organizations. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate and rank contractors for Health and Safety Executive (HSE) performance using multicriteria decision making methods of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) in Imam Khomeini port complex. We also strived to provide management solutions to improve the HSE status of contractors in this complex. Results: After identifying 38 contractors, 4 criteria and 22 sub-criteria were determined by using Delphi technique, and then the criteria and sub-criteria were weighed and prioritized by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. The management criteria with the weight of 0.586 obtained the highest score and the environmental criteria with the weight of 0.0085 attained the lowest score. Also, the sub-criterion of the HSE professional staff with the weight of 0.272 obtained the highest and green space with the weight of 0.006 obtained the lowest weight. Finally, the contractors were assessed and ranked in terms of HSE performance using the TOPSIS technique. The results showed that in terms of HSE performance T.GH.KH, A.N.A and G.A companies with activity the port and sea service-aridity and vacating and loading installations with arrange points 0/9452, 0/9367 and 0/9264 ranked the first until third place. Also, contractors based on performance HSE were ranked in the three levels of good (9 contractors), moderate (22 contractors), and weak (7 contractors). Conclusion: According to the selected criteria, the performance of HSE management in the majority of contracting companies in a favorable situation. This situation can be attributed to the establishment of HSE management system and the level of contractors' compliance with the HSE requirements.

Wetlands are the intermediate lands between drought and aquatic ecosystems and are the most fertile and most productive ecosystems on earth (Germandy et al., 2008). Management of wetlands for conservation includes the conservation of wetlands from direct human pressures and the maintenance of natural processes in the vicinity of wetland. Monitoring the changes in wetlands and their surrounding lands can be useful for managing these valuable ecosystems (Sabzghabaei et al., 2015). In order to better protect the sustainable development, the necessity of differentiation and recognition of the characteristics of wetlands makes it possible to determine the resources, source of origin, location and factors of their destruction, so that they can be managed with a proper understanding of them. (Lambin and Gist, 2006). If society wants sustainable development in the first stage, we must acquire a complete knowledge of our environment, and in the second stage we must work with strategic planni...
