An elicitation process to quantify Bayesian networks for dam failure analysis.

The article discusses the proposed elicitation process that can be utilized to quantify the effectiveness of Bayesian networks in the probabilistic failure analysis of complex structures like bridges and dams. Also cited are a real-life study using the networks to analyze the safety of the Mountain Chute Dam and Generating Station in Ontario, and the possible reasons behind a dam's failure like excessive loads due to unexpected flood events.
