Abstract

Abstract: Oroville spillway incident happened in February 2018. This paper, based on reports and news, analyzed the problems encountered, such as safety assessment, climate change and public participation. Moreover, good applicability of monitoring technology in extreme condition is of great importance. The reflection on this incident is of great value, worthy reference.

Key words: Oroville dam, spillway, incident, safety assessment, monitoring technology

摘要： 2017年2月，美国奥洛维尔大坝溢洪道发生泄洪冲刷破坏事故，根据事故起因及过程的相关报道，从安全定检、水文气象变化、民众参与等方面介绍奥洛维尔大坝安全管理中存在的问题并进行了相关反思和分析。另外，结合奥洛维尔应急过程强调了恶劣或极端条件下大坝安全监控设施的重要性，并从大坝安全管理方面分析该事故，为国内同行提供参考，以期提高我国的大坝安全管理水平。
