Development of a platform for the integration of physically-based numerical models and data-based models to dam management.
This project was conceived from the idea of putting together numerical models and data-based models. This combination can offer a set of advantages in order to increase dam safety:
-
Resulting numerical models will be more adjusted to real dam behavior and, in consequence, models will be more reliable.
-
Statistically-based models could be applied at earlier ages due to the generation of time series using numerical simulations.
-
The simultaneous analysis of both type of models will complete the knowledge about the level of safety in the dam.
-
A methodology for the calibration of model’s parameters will be developed.
-
Criteria for dynamic adjustment of emergency thresholds will be posed. This will permit an automated, up-to-date analysis of dam safety.
