Abstract: Wind setup and wave run-up heights are important considerations in determining the total height of a river levee system. In this study, two generalized reliability models for a levee system are developed considering the ...

Abstract: Two simplified dynamic reliability models for hydraulic design are developed, which consider both hydraulic and hydrologic uncertainties. To incorporate the safety factor into the reliability model properly, the actual ...

Abstract: The effects of stochastic hydraulic conductivity on the slope stability of an embankment dam are investigated using a combination of random field simulation, seepage analysis, and slope stability analysis. The hydraulic ...
