Technical analysis on the emergency handling of Tangjiashanbarrier lakeLiu Ning,Yang Qigui2(1. The Ministry of Water Resources of China, Beijing 100053,China;2. Design Institute of Changjiang W ater Resources Commission, Wuhan 430010, China)Abstract:This paper gives a brief introduction to the emergency handling of Tangiashan barrier lake. Some technologiesfor the application of geological and topographical data are summarized and the mechanism of formnation of a barrier lakeis analyzed. Based on the safety status evaluation, the dam breach flood point is calculated. The paper concludes withdiscussion of the practical effects of emergency handling scenarios and diferent drainage channel designs.Key words:earthquake; Tangjiashan barrier lake; landslide; dam breach1 Introduction2 Technologies for the data acquisition andapplicationTangjiashan barrier lake is located in the Kuzhureservoir, upstream of Tongkou River, 3. 2 km away2.1 Topographical data acquisition and applicationfrom Beichuan County of Sichuan Province.
