AB  - Protecting infrastructures and vital areas are among the most important measures in order to increase
the national security and preserving important resources and human life. Dams and their related equipment are
among these important areas. These structures have always been exposed to the danger of natural disasters
such as earthquake, flood, etc. and also unnatural dangers such as attacks by enemies or sabotage operations.
Passive defense is a set of measures which reduces the threats to their lowest level through spending less
equipment and facilities compared with active defense, reducing or removing vulnerability, controlling the
results of attacks and increasing the ability of restoration against sudden attacks of enemies and without using
any weapon and direct fight. The present research investigates the consideration of passive defense about
dams regarding measures and the research done in the past and experiences of different countries in this area
and the researchers have tried to introduce some solutions for increasing the safety of these important
structures.
