Abstract
Dams must be permanently maintained in a proper way because of extremely grave consequences that may occur in case of a failure. Maintenance refers to monitoring the condition of a dam and its belonging facilities, that is to identification and undertaking of all necessary measures for ensuring safety and functionality of the facilities in a timely manner. Maintenance involves various factors concerning the facilities as structures: natural factors, environmental factors and human activities. With such complex issues, the question of optimality and use of available resources arises. The main objective of this project is to develop a system for the support of implementation of regulatory frameworks for the safety of dams, which serves to improve the maintenance system, safety and functionality of the existing dams and provide the protection of local communities. An integrated approach to all aspects of dam maintenance is essential for solving this issue. The development of the system involves comprehension of measurable indicators that are relevant for the decision-making process, modernization and extension of the system for monitoring relevant values and development of physically-based mathematical models with the aim of analyzing and predicting of dam behaviour. The operation of the system shall be verified on two different facilities as an example of good practice with the aim of adopting regulations and promoting the optimal approach to the maintenance of large dams.
