Research Paper by Civil Engineering Faculty Member Published at the 6th National Water Engineering Symposium
The research paper by Asst. Prof. Yasin PAŞA from the Civil Engineering Department, focusing on HEC-RAS modeling of potential dam-break floods at Darlık Dam and the assessment of downstream flood risks, was published at the 6th National Water Engineering Symposium held on October 19–23, 2026, in İznik, Bursa.
The research paper titled “Modeling of the Darlık Dam-Break Flood Using HEC-RAS and Assessment of Downstream Flood Risks,” authored by Asst. Prof. Yasin PAŞA, a faculty member of the Civil Engineering Department at Istanbul Gelisim University, was published at the 6th National Water Engineering Symposium, held on October 19–23, 2026, in İznik, Bursa.
The study focuses on modeling potential flooding resulting from possible dam-break scenarios at Darlık Dam using the HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling software and assessing the associated flood risks in downstream areas.
The research addresses an important topic in water resources engineering and disaster management by examining the modeling and potential consequences of dam-break floods. It highlights the role of numerical modeling methods in dam safety assessments, flood risk identification and the planning of preventive measures for downstream areas.
The study is expected to contribute to future research on dam-related flood risk assessment and the development of safer and more resilient infrastructure systems against natural disasters.
The Civil Engineering Department congratulates Asst. Prof. Yasin PAŞA on this valuable scientific contribution and wishes him continued success in his academic studies.
