INFLUENCE OF ANALYSIS METHODS FOR SEISMIC HAZARD ON TOTAL RISK OF LARGE CONCRETE DAMS IN TURKEY

16640

The risk classification system is an important guide for dam safety officials to select appropriate evaluation procedures and to assign priorities for seismic safety evaluations of the most critical dams. In this study, general evaluation of total risk analysis is performed and effect of different seismic hazard methods (deterministic and probabilistic) on risk calculations is investigated. For this purpose, fourteen concrete dams with a structural height ranging from 14.5 to 186 m are taken into consideration. Both deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analyses show that 50 percent of dams have high-risk class and reminders have moderate-risk class.
