Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Earthquakes have always been a significant aspect of the design and safety of dams. This position paper deals with the seismic safety of large dams, based on experiences with large earthquakes in Japan (Tohoku earthquake, 2011, Richter magnitude 9.0), in China (Wenchuan earthquake, 2008, Richter magnitude 8.0) and in Chile (Maule earthquake, 2010, Richter magnitude 8.8). It presents ways to prevent key aspects of large dam failure under severe seismic conditions with a focus on design instead of on earthquake prediction. This is done by considering the prevention of uncontrolled rapid release of water of a storage dam under full reservoir conditions in relation to expected seismic conditions.This position paper is composed by the Committee on Seismic Aspects of Dam Design of The International Committee of Large Dams.Les tremblements de terre ont toujours ete un aspect important de la conception et de la securite des barrages. Ce document de synthese traite de la securite sismique des grands barrages, en se fondant sur lexperience acquise lors de grands seismes au Japon (seisme de Tohoku, 2011, magnitude 9,0 sur lechelle de Richter), en Chine (seisme de Wenchuan, 2008, magnitude 8,0 sur lechelle de Richter) et au Chili (seisme de Maule, 2010, magnitude 8,8 sur lechelle de Richter). Il presente des moyens de prevenir les aspects cles de la defaillance des grands barrages dans des conditions sismiques severes en mettant laccent sur la conception plutot que sur la prevision des seismes. Pour ce faire, on examine la prevention dune liberation rapide et incontrolee de leau dun barrage de stockage dans des conditions de reservoir plein par rapport aux conditions sismiques prevues.Cet argumentaire est compose par le Comite sur les Aspects Sismiques des Projets de Barrages de la Commission Internationale des Grands Barrages.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The purpose of ICOLD Bulletin 169 is to assess the role of dams and reservoirs in adapting to the effects of global climate change, determine the threats, and potential opportunities, posed by global climate change to existing dams and reservoirs, and then recommend measures to mitigate against or adapt to the effects of global climate change. This bulletin is organized in chapters that include the following:a description of what is at risk when considering dams, reservoirs and related water resourcesfacts and uncertainties with climate evolution, mainly based on past observations analysisframework and method for assessing climate induced impacts and risk at watershed scaleother drivers besides climate change that can affect the balance between resources and needs: demography, technology, sedimentationclimate-driven opportunities for new storageemissions of greenhouse gases associated to reservoirs and water resourcesadaptation strategies and case studies from different regions of the world and illustrating different water resources systems situationsrecommendationsICOLD recommendations (chapter 10) address three broad themes:Recommendation 1: Adopt a whole-of-system approach.Recommendation 2: Apply an adaptive management process.Recommendation 3: Collaborate with a wide range of disciplines, interest and stakeholders (including engineers alongside decision makers, politicians, natural resource scientists, social scientists, economists and the greater community) in the assessment of enduring and effective adaptation options.Lobjectif de ce ICOLD Bulletin 169 est devaluer le role des barrages et reservoirs dans ladaptation face aux effets du rechauffement climatique, de determiner les risques de meme que les opportunites potentielles, imposees par le rechauffement climatique aux reservoirs et barrages, puis recommander des mesures dattenuation ou dadaptation aux effets du changement climatique mondial.Le present bulletin est structure en plusieurs chapitres comprenant les elements suivants:la caracterisation des risques pour les barrages et reservoirs, et pour la gestion des ressources en eau associeesles constats et incertitudes lies a levolution du climat, principalement fondes sur lanalyse des observations anterieuresles principes methodologiques des etudes devaluation des impacts et des risques induits par levolution du climat a lechelle du bassin versantdautres facteurs que le changement climatique qui peuvent affecter lequilibre entre les ressources et les besoins : demographie, evolution technologique, sedimentationlopportunite de creer de nouvelles reserves de stockage pour augmenter la resilience des systemes aux effets climatiquesun point sur les emissions de gaz a effet de serre imputables aux reservoirs et aux ressources en eaudes principes de strategie dadaptation et des etudes de cas provenant de differentes regions du monde, illustrant differentes situations des systemes de gestion des ressources en eaudes recommandations.Les recommandations generales portent sur trois grands themes :Recommandation 1: adopter une approche systemique densembleRecommandation 2: Appliquer un processus adaptatif de gestionRecommandation 3: Collaborer avec un large eventail de disciplines, et de parties prenantes (ingenieurs, decideurs, elus, specialistes des ressources naturelles, specialistes des sciences sociales, economistes et la collectivite dans son ensemble) dans levaluation des options dadaptation durables et efficaces.
