| Summary: | AAD and performs related damage analysis. Also, within this AAD estimates. AAD evaluation methods. Primarily, the risk-based approach addition, the riskbased approach should provide more accurate addition, this research performs a sensitivity analysis on analysis approach, currently being adopted in the United analysis rather than a single point estimate of AAD. In analyzed. Based on the case study, the new risk-based approach provides several advantages over the conventional Average annual damage (AAD) is a key central component of the conventional versus explicit uncertainty analysis approaches developing the three basic relationships required to estimate evaluating AAD that have been applied to numerous feasibil4 expected value of annual damage, in dollars, is a explicitly model the uncertainties involved in developing the for evaluating average annual damages of an ungaged hydrologic, hydraulic, and economic information developed in incorporating uncertainties in the basic relationships for making processes such as capabilities for developing an AAD of Engineers and others have developed procedures for probabflityweighted average of the economic losses associated provides more quantitative information to support decision- required hydrologic, hydraulic, and economic relationships. research an approach is developed for explicitly States, is based on modifying the conventional procedures to studies over the past several decades.
