Abstract

The work describes the state of Zhinvali Earth Dam and development of the Dam control risk frame by using the critical state and risk portfolio analysis (GAPRA). By using the theoretical and experimental global positioning device (GPS) and geographical information system (GIS) software, a digital map of the flooded area was compiled. The article describes the modern methods and principles to ensure safety of the population living in the high-risk zone flooded as a result of possible accident of Zhinvali Earth Dam.
