Global Sensitivity Analysis of Dam Erosion Models

چکیده

Windows TM Dam Analysis Modules (WinDAM) is a set of modular software components that can be used to analyze overtopped earthen embankments and internal erosion of embankment dams. These software components are being developed in stages. The initial computational modules address routing of floods through the reservoir with dam overtopping and evaluation of the potential for vegetation or riprap to delay or prevent failure of the embankment. Subsequent modules incorporate dam breach analysis. Current work is underway to include analysis of internal erosion, non-homogeneous, zoned embankments, and the analysis of various other forms of embankment protection. The focus of this paper is on the overall software architecture and its integration with Sandia National Laboratories’ DAKOTA software suite to perform global sensitivity analysis on a wide range of input parameters.

Assessment of Artificial Neural Network Models and Maximum Entropy in Zoning of Gully Erosion Sensitivity of Golestan Dam Basin

Zoning of gully erosion susceptibility and determining the factors controlling gully erosion is very important and vital. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of gully erosion using two models of ANN and MaxEnt and to determine the factors affecting this type of erosion in Golestan Dam basin. Therefore, 14 factors in the form of three divisions, including topographi...

Check dam suitable locations for erosion control using hierarchical analysis process

1- Introduction Watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers, which all drain into a single large body of water. For sustainable management of watersheds, soil erosion is a major factor, which accelerates the rate of land degradation and hence influences agricultural productivity, run off movement and sometimes leads flood in the lower basin. Soil is one...

A Dam Break Analysis Using HEC-RAS

This paper firstly described the dam break in the aspects of theories and models. Break parameters prediction, the understanding of dam break mechanics, peak outflow prediction were shown as the essential for the dam break analysis, and eventually determined the loss of the damages. Secondly, as an application example, Foster Joseph Sayers Dam break was further modeled and analyzed using USACE ...
