Abstract/Additional Information
The initial approach was to conduct a survey of member countries of ICOLD and to ascertain the currently available practice. This report attempts to present our findings and is the result of much debate and controversy.
Attempts of including quantitative stochastic and probabilistic reliability approaches were made but the available data did not seem to warrant such an approach.
