Abstract: (222 Views)
Various factors influence earth dams' stability and flow rate, including geometric characteristics, material permeability, and upstream water height. Understanding unsaturated soil behavior in earth dams is crucial, necessitating the application of unsaturated soil mechanics principles due to the complexities involved. This study investigates the effect of Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) parameters on the slope stability of an earth dam under steady-state and rapid drawdown conditions. The findings reveal that SWCC parameters significantly influence water flow and slope stability. Additionally, considering unsaturated unit weight can improve slope stability under varying conditions.
