ABSTRACT
Aiming at assessing the environmental safety of small Kazbegi HPP, we have described
the catastrophic-scale mudflow formed as a result of movement of Devdorak
glacier in the Gorge of the river Kabakhi (left tributary of the river Tergi) on May
17, 2014, having inflicted significant damage to the hydraulic works of Kazbegi
HPP. With the purpose of securing the environmental safety of small Kazbegi HPP
and regulating the erosive-mudflow processes inter alia, the performance reliability
and risk of breakdown of a new springboard-type structure by considering the
dynamic and static loads of the mudflow were specified.
