This guide assesses the seriousness of seismic risk and proposes criteria for earthquake safety evaluation of existing UK dams. It relates specifically to the safety of UK dams and reservoirs under seismic loading although it should also be useful in the design of new dams. The guide is relevant to all forms of dam construction.

"This interim guide to quantitative risk assessment for UK reservoirs provides a tool for the management of reservoir safety by experienced dam professionals. It comprises a screening level assessment of the risk of failure of a dam, i.e. the uncontrolled sudden large release of water from the reservoir it retains." "The guide is in the form of a Microsoft Excel workbook with proforma calculations, and accompanying text. It is intended to form part of either a periodic safety review or a portfolio risk assessment, where application of this guide identifies potential concerns a more detailed assessment is likely to be appropriate."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
