This paper describes the United Kingdom method for conducting risk analyses for large dams. The importance of checking results against published statistics is emphasised. Whilst the method was developed primarily for use in the United Kingdom it has been successfully used in other countries where natural hazards are greater than in UK. The paper gives examples of how the method has been used in Japan and offers comments on the results obtained particularly with respect to risks from earthquakes and typhoons. For the rockfill dams considered it is found that indirect seismic risks (eg. From seiches and landslides) overshadow the direct risks associated with settlement and consequential overtopping. Other risks such as typhoon rainfall, internal erosion and non-operation of spillway gates are significant.
