Seminar Overview With the nation’s aging infrastructure becoming more and more a focus of serious attention, concerns over dams across the United States are beginning to arise. Many involved with design, operation, and maintenance of dams may not realize their legal responsibilities. Who is responsible for maintaining existing dams? What are the causes of a dam failure? What are the consequences of a failure? Who is responsible if a dam fails? What can be done to prevent failure? How is a dam inspection performed? The objectives of this seminar will be to identify the current status of existing dams in the United States, to learn the basic fundamentals of performing a dam safety inspection, to learn how to perform a dam safety analysis, and to identify various rehabilitation practices. Topics to be covered in this seminar will include a history of dams, and overview of dam safety criteria in the United States, identifying the consequences of failure, determining the safety of existing dams, and developing techniques for rehabilitating aging dam structures. Participants will leave this seminar with a better understanding of the principles necessary to identify and mitigate the risks associated with a potential dam failure. They will be better able to identify potential problems in an existing dam, perform dam safety and dam failure analyses, and identify means to rehabilitate a deteriorating structure. Seminar Topics
