Failure Risk Evaluation to Flood for Irrigation Reservoirs

농업용 저수지의 홍수 취약성 지수 개발

This study began to establish a risk evaluation method for irrigation reservoirs under the overtopping failure mode. To define the risk, reliability analysis was performed using time series of reservoir flood inflow and spillway outflow. The former was defined as a load and the latter was the resistance component. The method results in failure probability, which is calculated by convolution multiplication between probability distribution functions of both components. The proposed method was applied to 3 reservoir sites and each failure probability was determined as 0.0012, 0.00001, and 0.000001 respectively.
