Slope stability analysis is performed to assess the safe design of a human-made or natural slopes and the equilibrium conditions. The study showed the values of factor of safety for upstream slope increase for a low rate of reservoir drawdown (3). Slope Stability in a Dam Embankment Application ID: 54461 A slope stability analysis is performed and the Factor of safety of the dam embankment is calculated by … Although probabilistic stability analysis approach has been widely applied to the safety assessment of geotechnical structures, few studies have been performed to investigate the effects of water level fluctuations on earth dam slope stability … Downstream under Steady Seepage 2. Depending on the accuracy desired, normally six to twelve slices are sufficient. In this method to analyse the slope stability, the total earth fill is divided into several vertical segments called slice, which are equally spaced, though it is not necessary.

Because of this case of elastic-plastic model of iterative calculation is very complex, so take the elastic model, and not by strength reduction method, and the use of rigid body limit equilibrium method. Seepage analysis is divided into two stages: steady state analysis and transient analysis. By using a shear strength reduction method in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, civil and geotechnical engineers can evaluate the stability of dam … The nonlinear Unified Strength Theory ( UST ), which takes into account the effect of intermediate stress and nonlinear behavior on geotechnical strength, is applied in slope stability analysis of earth-rockfill dams ( ERD ) in this paper. From several investigations, it has been concluded that the sliding of curved surface takes place along its slip surface, which is normally close to the cylindrical shape, i.e. The failure of a slope may lead to loss of life and property. Two-dimensional (2-D) sections are analyzed and plane strain conditions are assumed. Unsaturated Slope Stability and Seepage Analysis of a Dam Carastoian Andreea* Phd.student Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest Abstract The paper presents stability and seepage analysis performed in unsaturated regime to take care of the infiltration through the dam. In addition, for comparison reasons, a Slope Stability Analysis of the Carsington Earth Embankment Dam during loading case (a) using … The nonlinear Unified Strength Theory ( UST ), which takes into account the effect of intermediate stress and nonlinear behavior on geotechnical strength, is applied in slope stability analysis of earth-rockfill dams ( ERD ) in this paper.

10, No. Application ID: 54461. The forces between the slices are considered negligible; and it is also assumed that each slice acts independently as a vertical soil column of unit thickness and … It is therefore, essential to check the stability of proposed slopes.

overall stability conditions of the Earth Embankment Dam during its original construction are deduced in this research paper.

Seepage, Slope Stability, Phreatic Line, Hub dam, Numerical Modeling, SEEP/W, SLOPE/W Abstract The present research work was conducted to compute seepage and slope stability analysis of Hub dam (earthen dam) by using the slave programs of Geo-Slope …

A slope stability analysis is performed and the Factor of safety of the dam embankment is calculated by using the Shear Strength Reduction Technique. SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF AN EARTH DAM Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, Vol. Slope Stability in a Dam Embankment. Slope stability analysis is essential for ensuring the reliability of dam embankments and safety of people in their proximity. The analysis of slope in Figure 8 can be seen in Figure 9.
