Original Abstract

It is necessary to deal with the reliability of dams and levees during their design and operation. It is the main goal of design and assessment procedures to involve all the important uncertainties in the solution. In current practice this is carried out using traditionally recommended safety factors published in the technical standards and guidelines for designers and consultants. Another more comprehensive approach is the limit state method using appropriate partial reliability factors or comprehensive probabilistic reliability assessment. In the paper the two latter procedures are described in the context of the initiation phase of internal erosion at levees. Both methods are demonstrated in case studies of flood protection schemes of at the village of Troubky and the city of Prague.
