Abstract:
Due to several reasons such as water deficiency and gradual reduce in water resources, dams had always been prominent during past centuries. Most of the dams have been built proximate to cities to provide water for drinking and industries thus, it’s vital to examine them in the aspects of safety factor and capacity to contain overflow. Failure of the dames should also studied considering different features such for instance sudden increment of stored water behind the dam as a result of gigantic floods, leakage in the body of soil dams, overflow in the dam crest due to insufficient functionality of spillway and etc. which could cause the failure of dams.
The main purpose of this thesis is to model dam failure, flood per casting and determination of the hazard regions by flood using ARC GIS, HECGEO-RAS and HEC-RAS. At the end, applying results of the software, emergency action program (EAP) will provide for dams. According to past researches and the experience of engineers, after failure process (second part) is more focused. In this regard, it has been tried to detect areas which would be in the risk by flood zoning caused by the dam failure. Therefore, a dam constructed in upstream of Uroumieh, Azarbayjan-Gharbi, Iran is considered
