About this document
Slope Stability Analysis of Earth Dams by Fabián Arquín Bolaños is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper analyzes slope stability issues with an earthen dam due to rapid drawdown effects. Several shallow slips have occurred in the embankment walls of the headrace canal for a hydroelectric scheme in Western Ireland. The embankments were constructed in the 1920s using local glacial deposits directly on soft soils. The paper compares field data on the failures to predictions from limit equilibrium analyses using drained/undrained parameters and the Duncan et al. method favored by the US Army Corps of E
