AbstractConventional direct methods, which work so well for small structures, are less successful for macromolecules. Where it has been demonstrated that a solution might be found using direct methods it is then found that the usual figures of merit are unable to distinguish the few good sets of phases from the large number of sets generated. The reasons for the difficulties with very large structures are considered from a first-principles approach taking into account both the factors of having a large number of atoms and low resolution data. A proposal is made for trying to recognize good phase sets by taking a large structure as a sum of a number of smaller structures for each of which a conventional figure of merit can be applied.

The case of a dam for an irrigation reservoir is used as an example to illustrate the different modes of failure of a water resources system. The types of failure to which a dam can be subjected are described in the first section of the paper, in terms of a framework of general reliability analysis. Two applications are considered: the case of operational failure, illustrated by means of an irrigation reservoir for arid countries, and the case of dam failure due to overtopping. Conceptual models are given which permit the inclusion of reliability and other figures of merit into both operation and safety analysis.
