      Specialization course in Dam Safety approching the subjects of: - Dam instrumentation - Design criteria - Emergency Action Plan - Hydraulic, hydrologic and geotechnical studies - Dam pathologies - Dam rehabilitation Final paper: - Title: Assessment of the hydrologic safety of Itaúba HPP - Abstract: According to ICOLD (2012), 71% of the overtopping cases sare driven from under designed spillways. The recommended methods for estimating the design flood vary from country to country, usually related to the potential risk to downstream populations. For instances, the United States recommends the use of Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) to design spillways of dams with high potential risk (FEMA, 2013). In Brazil, it is recommended the 10.000-year flood (Eletrobrás, 2003). In addition to the estimation method, there is the matter of the stationarity of the flow series, which, according to Detzel et al. (2011), they are presenting an increase along the years. In this context, this article presents an evaluation of the discharge capacity of the spillway of Itaúba Hydropower Plant, located in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. To do so, the 10.000-year flood was estimated from the series of natural (without antropic effects) and regularized (with antropic effects, such as hydropower plants upstream) flows. Moreover, the (non-)stationarity of the series and its impacts to the 10.000-year flood was assessed, which revealed an 25% increase of the maximum flood in the natural flow serie. Based in the analysed scenarios and their probability to occur, the Itaúba HPP remains safe regarding the 10.000-year flood. Show less
