Empirical formula calculation data of final bottom elevation of dam breach- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

Data content: empirical formula calculation data of final bottom elevation of dam breach

Data source: a large database containing 1230 dam cases around the world based on literature retrieval.

Collection method: processing and fitting through Excel data processing software.

Data quality description: in order to solve the problem of assigning the final bottom elevation of the dam breach, based on the collected data of dam height and breach depth in the dam database, combined with the classification method of overtopping breach dam body erosion proposed by briaud in 2008, the dams were divided into three types: high, medium and low erosion degrees. Then the dam height and breach depth of the dam plug dam with different erosion degrees were regressed, The empirical formula for the depths of dam breaches with different erosion degrees were also fitted, and then the final bottom elevations of dam breaches were determined.

File naming and required software

File name: the numerical simulation data is stored in the format of picture JPG and video GIF. The name of the file is "construction of final bottom elevation of breach. Xlsx"
