ĭuring the 70's and 80's he personally formulated, coded, and tested mathematical simulation programs, including: It discussed erosion patterns and the potential reduction in the reservoir release due base on a proposed erosion retarding layer. His 1973 ASCE paper presented a conceptual model to alleviate flood damages due to overtopping failures of small earthfill dams. Inspired by the tragedy of the failure of the Grand Teton Dam in 1976, he undertook research on the development of computer models to forecast the flow of flooding rivers and dam failures. After earning his degree, he became a research hydrologist with the National Weather Service, where he spent 29 years. His studies focused on hydraulics / hydrology / mathematics, and his research was centered on unsteady flow and numerical / experimental simulation of breached dams.
He then returned to University of Missouri-Rolla to complete his Ph.D. Was promoted to Senior Engineer, specializing in the design of gravity and pressurized piping systems.
Career Īfter completing his undergraduate degree, Danny Fread worked six years for Texaco, where he Danny set a school record for his javelin throw in 1959 and was reputedly the "team's best pole vaulter." and lettered in basketball, where he was known for his "deadly jump shot." Fread then transferred to the University of Missouri-Rolla, in Rolla, Missouri and received his B.S. He began his undergraduate studies at Carthage College, in Carthage, IL, where he studied liberal arts and excelled in track and field as well as basketball. Danny graduated from Lovington High School, in Lovington, Illinois. Early life and education ĭanny Fread was born on Jin Tuscola, IL, the son of Harold and Margaret E. Stevens Award, the Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for Technology Transfer, the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) National Award of Merit, and the American Meteorological Society Award of Fellow.ĭanny Lee Fread (JFebruary 5, 2009) was an American hydraulic engineer and Senior Research Hydrologist, best known for his computer-based mathematical simulation programs for rainfall and runoff to forecast the flow of flooding rivers and dam failures.
