| Popis: |
Small earth dams are characterized by a reduced height of the retaining structure and by a limited reservoir volume. They are often located along slopes close to populated areas, then the risk associated with their potential rupture can be considerable. For this reason, the evaluation of their seismic vulnerability is of paramount importance for Civil Protection purposes. In addition, the usual lack of technical information about these types of dams represents a significant further challenge. In this regards, a simplified methodology based on a reduced number of parameters is required for vulnerability assessment studies. A simplified procedure was developed to systematically classify a high number of small earth dams. The proposed methodology is based on the compilation of data-sheets that lead to a preliminary classification of the earth dams in terms of their associated seismic risk. This procedure was developed within the ReSba project sponsored by the European fund for regional development (Interreg-ALCOTRA) for the French-Italian Alps area. The application of this procedure to more than 100 earth dams in the Piedmont region allowed to identify the most critical structures which require a priority in the planning of further investigations and analyses. |
