Three CMDs, currently being constructed under the supervision of ABFAN consulting engineers in Iran, are used in the case study for the proposed probabilistic approaches. The detailed specification of these dams is presented in the authors' previous papers [1], however, a brief specification of "Dasht-e-Palang" dam which is most referred to in this paper is described for convenience. "Dasht-e-Palang" is a composite of Gravity and Earthfill dam type, under construction in the south of Iran (Fig.2). The project objective is to provide drinking, industrial and agricultural water: • Maximum height: 56 m • CMD part crest length: 350 m. Earthfill part crest length: 680 m • CMD part crest width: 4 m. Earthfill part crest width: 8 m • Upstream and downstream slope of the dam body: 0.7 h / 1.0 v • Hardfill volume: 540,000 m3. CVC volume: 150,000 m3 • Earthfill volume: 950,000 m3 Fig. 2 "Dasht-e-Palang" dam (A composite of CMD & Earthfill) 849
