Conclusion
The results of the calculations and modeling indicated that a wave that will top the crest of the dam can form during the collapse of a landfall with a volume of up to 1 million m3. The design therefore specifies a 3-m increase in dam's crest, and the construction of a wave-protection dike near the village of Dzorashen to ensure the dam's preservation.
