Continuous monitoring and inspection of large dams would provide means for proper rehabilitative actions to be taken on time which intend to maintain the desired safety throughout the physical life of dams. Comprehensive inspections can be carried out using a number of instruments. An ideal dam instrumentation system should provide time-dependent information about critical parameters so that possible future behaviour of the structure can be predicted. Numerous of the existing dams do not have adequate instruments or current instrumentation systems may not be in good condition. By implementing the modern equipment to existing dams, the uncertainty associated with the impacts of aging or unexpected severe external events will be reduced and possible remedial measures can be taken accordingly. This paper addresses the concept of instrument retrofitting to an unmonitored structure, Gokcekaya Dam, 159 m-high arch dam, Turkey, with reference to investigation of the current condition of the structure. The deficiencies observed are listed and the corresponding rehabilitative measures are suggested. Finally, different alternatives of a new instrumentation system are introduced and compared in monetary terms.

A study on the reliability-based safety analysis of hardfill dams
Kitapcıgil, Sülen Nur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Dams are important large structures providing vital benefits to human life. These strategic structures are necessary in order to supply water and energy and to control floods. Moreover, dams have important roles in regional development and national economy. Thus, the design of dams deserves rigorous studies. Deterministic approach may be acceptable for design of dams and may satisfy safety requirements if large safety factors are used. However, such an approach will not be cost-effective in economic terms. ...
On the reliability based safety analysis of the Porsuk dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2005-10-01)
Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet various project demands. Their roles in both the environment and the economy of a country are so important that their design and construction should be carried out with a negligibly small risk. Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore variations in the governing variables. To offset this limitation, high safety factors are considered that increase the cost of the structure. Reliability-based design approaches are probabilistic in ...
A RISK-BASED MONITORING AND CONTROL STRATEGY FOR MICROPOLLUTANTS IN A RIVER BASIN
Pilevneli, Tolga; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-8-15)
There is a need to develop a methodology for cost-effectively assessing and monitoring the quality of surface waters, and controlling micropollutant discharges from point sources in a river basin. This study aims to develop a monitoring and control strategy by prioritizing micropollutants according to their potential hazard and exposure levels in the Yeşilırmak River Basin (YRB). The temporal and spatial variation in the occurrence of 295 micropollutants was assessed by adopting a statistical screening app...
A study on the reliability-based safety analysis of concrete gravity dams
Beşer, Mehmet Reşat; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet various project demands. Their roles in both environment and the economy of a country are so important that their design and construction should be carried out for negligibly small risk. Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore variations of the governing variables.

Assessment of overtopping reliability and benefits of a flood detention dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2008-10-01)
There is a growing tendency to assess safety levels of existing dams and to design new dams using probabilistic approaches according to project characteristics and site-specific conditions. This study is a probabilistic assessment of the overtopping reliability of a dam, which will be designed for flood detention purpose, and will compute the benefits that can be gained as a result of the implementation of this dam. In a case study, a bivariate flood frequency analysis was carried out using a five-parameter...
