Original Abstract

One of the key tasks in dam engineering is the assessment of dam safety. Special attention should be paid to the scenarios of loads during the extreme floods. In accordance with ICOLD recommendations the dam safety criteria have been significantly stiffened, namely in terms of the design and check flood probabilities related to spillway capacity. The criteria were implemented into mandatory directives in the Czech Republic. At recent time a wide and systematic reassessment of dams´ safety during floods have been performed over the all country. Quite common result of the assessment is that many dams do not comply with new regulations and should be upgraded.
