Predicting Breach Formation through Embankment Dam

The new large dam safety and failure impact assessment guidelines are being prepared for the Republic of Croatia. The breach formation process is complex, and depends upon a range of parameters. In this paper, the results of hydraulic analysis of Lipovačka Gradna and Jazbina (Croatia) dam failure has been presented. Special attention was paid to analyzing the first stage of breach growth when water flows through the initial breach in the dike crest and accelerates along the inner slope of the dike, eroding soil.
