 INTRODUCTION

 Slope stability is important in the design and construction of the earth dams

under influence of special states.

 Some factors affect on the slope stability for the earth dams such as change

the water level in the reservoir, dam configuration, material properties..etc.

 Any dam failure or accident to dam can cause a potential hazard to property

and lives of millions of people who dwell downstream of the dam and also

live stock.
 OBJECTIVE

 To investigate the Slope stability of Wand dam at different water

levels of the dam by using GEO-SLOPE model.

 To investigate the slope stability of Earth dam using Geo-slope model

for soil embedded GEOTEXTILE REINFORCEMENT
 METHODOLOGY

STEP 12: ANALYSE THE OBTAINED RESULTS

 SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF WAND DAM(DIYALA GOVERN0RATE)

 In this study, Analysing the slope stability of wand dam at different levels of water which is located in

Dayala Governorate.

 This dam can be used for irrigation purpose.

 This analysis can be done in different methods and the results are given below.
 The soil properties o f the dam is given below:
o Unit weight=21 KN/m^2
o Cohesion=0 kpa
o Internal friction angle(phi)=39 degrees
 The relationship between the minimum (F) and water level(m) is given below.

My analysis vales
• The above table represents comparison between journal values and My analysis
values. • M1=MORGENSTERN-PRICE
• M2=SPENCER
• It shows about 99.8% accurate values when compare between Journal values with • M3=BISHOP
My analysis values. • M4=JANBU
• M5=ORDINARY
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

• The relationship between the minimum (F) and water level(m).It can be seen that the values of

(F) are decreased between (h=0 to 10 m) because the value of soil cohesion equal 0.

• This leads to increasing the pore water pressure inside the dam body, as a result of that the

resisting force decrease, which leads to decrease the values of factor of safety.

• While the values of factor of safety becomes increase when the water level(h) greater than

(10m) due to increase the water forces supported the upstream slope face that decreasing the

driving forces.
