Risk Assessment of Large Infrastructure: Dams (Part 1) | Dr. Alex Strouth | GRMW 2024 (VII)

In this interactive session from the Geohazard Risk Management Workshop 2024 (GRMW), Dr. Alex Strouth from BGC Engineering Inc. explores the design and risk management of large infrastructure - dams. Covering critical topics in this sessions including the common risks, potential failure mode analysis, and semi-quantitative risk assessment for dams, Dr. Strouth provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and solutions in dam engineering. His engaging presentation style and use of real-world scenarios make this session highly informative and thought-provoking for engineers, risk managers, and decision-makers involved in large-scale infrastructure projects.
The Geohazard Risk Management Workshop 2024, held from November 25 to 27, brought together more than 70 participants, including professionals, researchers, and policymakers from Nepal and abroad. Organized by the Nepal Geotechnical Society (NGS), NDRRMA, and BGC Engineering Inc., the workshop featured national and international experts. International experts included specialists from BGC Engineering, Canada, and professor from IIT. National contributors ranged from experienced professors and researchers to government officials. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on training, and case studies, the event provided participants with actionable strategies for geohazard assessment, sustainable infrastructure development, and effective disaster risk reduction. This collaborative platform encouraged knowledge exchange and inspired innovative solutions to address Nepal’s unique geohazard challenges.
