Key Takeaways:
1.
Risk analysis and how it is used as part of dam safety risk management.
2. Definition of potential failure modes.
3. Examples of specific dam failure case histories.
4. How inspections have or could have reduced the likelihood of failure.
5. Examples of potential failure modes and how observations during inspections help inform us of the risk of failure.
