1 Unlined Spillway Erosion Risk Assessment Johannes Wibowo Don Yule Evelyn Villanueva U.S. Army COE ERDC Darrel Temple USDA Tuttle Creek, KS
2 Introduction Canyon Dam Spillway, Texas Date: July 6, 2002 Flow: 66,000 cfs, 250 yr flood Duration: 2 days Spillway Width: 260 ft Material: Limestone
3 Introduction Problem Statements: Spillway erosion analysis encounters variable nature of geometry, geologic material, and unpredictable flood events. Dam Safety Port Folio Analysis needs a tool to determine the probability of spillway damages. Painted Rock, AZ
4 Introduction RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: Develop a tool to assess the probability of damages on unlined spillway erosion Saylorville, IA
5 Risk Assessment Process of Answering Three Questions: What can go wrong? 2 What is the likelihood it will go wrong? 3 What are the consequences if it does go wrong?
6 Risk Assessment What Can Go Wrong? Local Scouring Spillway Breach Headcut Erosion Dam Breach
7 Risk Assessment 2 What Is the Likelihood It Will Go Wrong? Uncertainty of Flood Event Uncertainty of Material Parameters Uncertainty of Performance of the Unlined Spillway
8 Risk Assessment 3 What Are the Consequences If It Does Go Wrong? Spillway Partial Damage Lightly Damaged Moderately Damaged Severely Damaged Spillway Breach Population at Risk Loss of Economic Value
