| Abstract: |
For critical infrastructure projects like large dams and nuclear facilities an integral safety concept is used, which includes the following elements: (i) structural safety, (ii) safety monitoring, (iii) operational safety and maintenance, and (iv) emergency planning. This paper deals with the safety and lifespan of large storage dams as these elements are the prerequisites for any sustainable infrastructure projects. |
