"Study on the Analysis Method Research for Loss of Life due to Dam Breach" is founded on its study present situation at home and abroad and the investigation of breached reservoirs and the distribution analysis for their loss of life in China. In this thesis, firstly, the necessity, importance and difficulty of studying the loss of life due to dam breach are defined, some factors of the estimation of the loss of life due to dam breach are introduced, "Study on the Analysis Method Research for Loss of Life due to Dam Breach" is developed, and the evaluating module for the loss of life due to dam breach, which is suitable for Chinese condition, is put forward to in order to serve for dam risk evaluation and management.Secondly, the present study situation of loss of life due to dam breach at home and abroad is summarized systematically, containing the study of flood due to dam breach and the study for the evaluating module of the loss of life due to dam breach.Thirdly, eight typical dam-breached reservoirs which have caused numerous loss of life due to their dam breach in China are investigated in particular; the main distributional characteristics of the loss of life are discussed preliminarily in several aspects.Fourthly, the software of USA national weather bureau, BREACH and FLDWAV, is made use of to forecast flood severity degree due to breach of these eight dams, the estimating methods given by D&M and Graham are applied to estimate the loss of life of them, and then the estimated results are prepared to the actual loss of life, the death rate table of population at risk due to dam breach in China is set up, accordingly The new estimating module of loss of life that is suitable for actual dam breach in China is put forward preliminary.BREACH and FLDWAV are applied to the analysis on the flood inundation area of the QINGSHAN reservoir in Hang Zhou due to dam breach at the condition of 10 000 flood, and its loss of life is estimated.Finally, preliminary some technology problems about the estimation methods of loss of life due to dam breach are concluded, and some suggestions, which help to the...
