On the morning of December 1, 1923, the Gleno Dam (located in the Central Italian Alps)
suddenly collapsed a few days after the first complete reservoir filling. Nearly 4.5× 10 6 m 3 …

This study was carried out to determine flood propagation using shallow water equations
(SWEs) and diffusive wave equations (DWEs) to reveal how the flood modeling results differ …

In this research, the flood wave resulting from the hypothetical overtopping failure of the
Haditha Dam on the Euphrates River, Iraq, was simulated, utilizing the ArcMap 10.2 and …

Dams are important structures having many functions such as water supply, flood control,
