摘要

When rehabilitation measures are required to allow a dam to safely pass the mandated IDF, a reduction of the IDF may be merited to reduce the cost of rehabilitation. Prior to performing rigorous (and often costly) analyses to reduce the IDF, the dam owner and engineer should perform a preliminary assessment to identify the likelihood for justification of a reduced IDF, potential cost savings, and other possible consequences of a reduced IDF. Some guidelines for deciding whether and IDF reduction may be valuable are provided below. Justifying a reduced IDF through incremental inundation analysis may be difficult if: 1. There is significant existing development downstream (reduction through RBA may also be difficult in this situation) 2. The reservoir is relatively large in relation to the drainage area contributing to the dam. 3. The dam is a gravity dam with a shorter hypothetical failure time, creating higher computed flows from the breach Even if none of these conditions exist, reducing the IDF may still not be recommended if: 1. Future development in the downstream floodway is likely. 2. The rehabilitation strategy (even for lesser floods) is embankment armoring, where cost savings are not significant for a reduced IDF. 3. The dam's spillway capacity is nearly adequate and nominal raising will allow the dam to pass the mandated IDF. For many dams, the cost of detailed analyses to reduce the IDF may approach the cost of this raising. 4. In addition to inadequate spillway capacity, the dam has other deficiencies (say seepage or stability concerns), requiring extensive rehabilitation measures. In these cases, the incremental cost savings of a reduced design flood diminish. Additionally, rehabilitation such as embankment armoring may incorporate stabilization or seepage control measures while also providing increased spillway capacity. 5. The owner cannot tolerate loss of the reservoir if the IDF is exceeded. This is especially true when the reservoir is a major asset that provides revenue, such as a hydroelectric power or water supply dam. Spillway expansion can increase downstream flooding for events less than the IDF; causing more damage than without expansion. This may provide justification for a reduced IDF; however, it may also influence the selection of rehabilitation strategy. Embankment armoring and gravity dam stabilization both allow safe passage of the IDF without changing the hydraulics of the structure. Reducing the IDF for these tow upgrading methods does not typically provide significant cost benefit. Finally, the owner and engineer should recognize the potential liabilities involved with an IDF reduction through incremental inundation analysis. While it may be shown that the dam does not "significantly" contribute to downstream flooding during an extreme event, it is very likely the dam owner could still be found responsible for damages incurred during a dam breach flood where the IDF is exceeded.
