Introduction to Risk Analysis and How Inspection & Assessment Informs the Results

This webinar is intended for individuals who are responsible for performing inspections on dams. The goal is to provide a connection between what can be observed in a field inspection and how dams fail, with particular focus on the risk analysis and how inspections inform the process.  

Learning objectives attendees will receive from this webinar:

• Risk analysis and how it is used as part of dam safety risk management.
• Definition of potential failure modes.
• Examples of specific dam failure case histories.
• How inspections have or could have reduced the likelihood of failure.
• Examples of potential failure modes and how observations during inspections help inform us of the risk of failure.
