Dams

Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context : Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the British Dam Society at the University of Leeds from 12 - 15 September 2012

By: British Dam Society. Conference

This book contains the proceedings of the 17th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context. It covers practical aspects which are directly relevant to all who work in the design, construction or management of dams and reservoirs, both in the UK and abroad. Several papers cover the construction of new dams, while many address the issues that arise from the nation's ageing portfolio of existing dams, where spillway improvements or other works may be needed to comply with current standards or to provide operational improvements. The environmental impacts of all such works must be fully considered, and examples are given where habitat and amenity provision have been integral components of projects. The UK legislative and policy framework is covered, with comparisons to design standards from abroad. Other papers examine aspects of the risks that dams pose to the public, and how to analyse and minimise such risks.

Water Resources and Reservoir Engineering

Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the British Dam Society Held at the University of Stirling, 24-27 June 1992

By: British Dam Society. Conference

This volume explores the current issues and recent international developments in reservoir planning and operation, design and construction, monitoring and maintenance. In the light of the recent climatic changes which have seen a reduction in rainfall and resulted in water shortages, a number of pertinent subjects are examined in detail, for example the provision of new resources, evaluation of optimal operating policies, review of water supply options, sedimentation effects, the environmental aspects and the economic viability of reservoirs.

Managing Dams

Challenges in a Time of Change : Proceedings of the 16th Conference of the British Dam Society at the University of Strathclyde from 24-26 June 2010

By: British Dam Society. Conference,British Dam Society

This book contains the proceedings of the 16th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Managing dams: Challenges in a time of change, covering a wide range of topics of direct relevance to all who are involved in the engineering and management of dams and reservoirs. A major challenge in the UK is to ensure that the nation's stock of existing dams is properly managed to ensure both their safety and continued functionality. Recent improvements in the knowledge of factors influential in dam failure are presented, along with papers on remedial work for existing dams and how risk can be assessed and managed. There are several papers on the upgrade of spillways that were needed following risk analyses. New dams for water supply or hydroelectricity overseas and for flood alleviation purposes in the UK are also considered, with a range of dam types and sizes discussed.

By: British Dam Society. Conference

This volume is the Proceedings from the 12th International Conference organised by the British Dam Society in September 2002.Reservoir safety is the key theme with many papers on the performance and rehabilitation of dams. The evolution of reservoirs in Ireland and the development of safety legislation in the UK are described. Risk assessment features in a number of papers as a method of assessing the safety of reservoirs. Several papers address the seismic assessment of dams and structures.
