Abstract

The problems due to the breaking of the barrages are happening in a recurring way, becoming two of the most discussed issues in the environmental area. In this way, it is necessary to analyze the risk and safety of the barrages so that safety measures are taken as long as the possibility of breakage is foreseen. Thus, the computational simulation appears as a way to analyze these ruptures based on the rupture hydrograph. In this context, the objective of this article is to analyze the influence of computational evil in the simulation of the hypothetical rupture of the barrage of the Barra do Braúna Hydroelectric Plant located on the Pomba river, in a stretch surrounding the city of Santo Antônio de Pádua and also, to assess the impacts caused pela onda de cheia in the referred city, by means of the IBER software.

Key-words: Breaking of Barragem. Pomba River. IBER software.
