Abstract
The purpose of a safety evaluation is to determine the status of a dam in relation to its structural, operational and environmental conditions. The evaluation should confirm the existence of adequate safety conditions or, if problems exist, detect and identify their causes, develop analysis or tests to study their incidence in dam safety and, if necessary to recommend operational restrictions, remedial repairs or both.
