Abstract: The paper contains summaries of two projects in which risk assessment procedures were used to evaluate dam safety for dam owners or operators in the United States. Each summary includes background subsection containing a brief description of the dam, safety concerns and the purpose of the study; a results subsection containing a synopsis of some of the important results derived from the study; and a study outcome subsection in which the role of the study results in decisions made by the dam owner /operator and regulator is discussed. For a detailed discussion of dam safety risk assessment procedures used in these studies, the interested reader is referred to Bowles et al. (1987), Anderson et al. (1987), and U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (1986).
