  • Dam Safety Requirements
    PRETTY DAM SAFE 13 Pretty Dam Safe While dams have been an integral part of civilisation since its beginning, the technology of dam construction has only really come of age in the twentieth century. As with the gothic cathedrals that were ‘designed’ by trial and error, dam failures led to knowledge that could produce safe designs. ortunately, Queensland and the other parts of Australia have been almost entirely Ffree of catastrophic dam failures. In 1929, a mining dam in Tasmania failed during exceptionally high floods and 14 lives were lost, but there have been no other disasters. In other parts of the world, dam failures have resulted in tragic loss of life and extensive (and expensive) property damage. During the 1960s and ’70s, 50 world dams failed 1 with the loss of more than 5000 lives. However, it could be that in the Australian situation, to misquote the words often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, “The price of freedom is eternal surveillance”. The lack of failure is clearly due, at least in part, to good luck. When the first dams were built in Australia there was no understanding of the concept of uplift pressures on dams from water seeping into the foundations of the structure. The sciences of soil and rock mechanics barely existed until the 1950s. Methods of construction were primitive by comparison with modern times, employing little in the way of compaction machinery or quality control, and, most importantly, there were virtually no hydrologic data and spillways had to be designed by empirical methods with only the most rudimentary estimates of the floods that could pass through them.
