The stability of the upstream shell of the dams is changed under the rapid drawdown condition where the pore water pressure has a different values according to the soil permeability. This paper considers the stability of the upstream shell of the "Braddon" dam with many types of soil and analyses each type under two rapid drawdown programs, the first program is when the discharge happens, according to the irrigation outlet by 25 m3/s, and the second program is when the discharge happens according to the tunnel conversion of the river by 500 m3/s. The obtained results show, that the stability of the upper slope under considered boundary conditions changed according to the soil type. Some soil have good stability factor while other soil collapsed .Accordingly, we can conclude that the type of soil of the upper dam slope is important and we could chose the appropriate type which does not cause dangerous during the rapid drawdown. Also the study shows that: the highest values of the safety factors result when the slopes are formed of high permeability soils as well as the slopes of homogeneous soil, while the soils formed of materials between them appeared decreasing values of safety factors.

Therefore in this paper we will present the stability analysis carried out on the Dwesat dam with vertical core, its high is 33m, the downstream slope of 1V:2.75H and the upstream slope of 1V:3.0H. Thickness of the vertical core was varied from 1V: 0.25H to 1V:2.0H, and also present the effect of the varied thickness on slope stability for both upstream and downstream under three design conditions i.e. during and end of construction, steady state seepage and rapid draw down by General Limit Equilibrium Method using GeoStudio software. It was observed from the analysis that by varying the thickness of vertical core of earth dam, thinner core up to 1V:1.30H gives more stability and further increase in thickness of core tends to sharp decline in factor of safety for both upstream and downstream slope under different design conditions.
In 2002, Zeyzoun Dam failure, that is an embankment dam located at the northwest of Syria, made a big Awareness of the effects of the lack of Geotechnical investigations and concern given to seismic design, geological conditions and location of the d am. Zeyzoun dam location, in the vicinity of the Dead Sea fault system, emphasizes the importance of analyzing the effects of lithological stratum in dam foundations on dam seismic stability. This paper is concerned with the influence of a high permeable soil layer that has different static and dynamic properties, and exists at different depths in dam foundation. Geo-studio software, a Geotechnical program that applies the finite element method and can consider analysis like seepage, dynamic analysis and slope stability, used to build and analyse numerical models. The results of dynamic analysis showed rising of phreatic line level in dam body, amplification in dam dynamic response, increasing in pore-water and excess pore water pressure and decreasing in stability factors of safety, along with decreasing of the thin layer depth.
In this paper, we focus on the importance of conducting the necessary tests either field or laboratory in order to obtain realistic values for soil hydrodynamic parameters allowing the best result to simulate the actual situation of any engineering facility. The importance of this research highlights in earth dams and dikes which have great importance to economic, environmental and human. It is necessary to be complete accuracy when creating a mathematical model to study stability of these structures. From here comes the need to calculate these parameters rather than extracted from engineering codes, that we will use them to simulate the effect of long rainfall on the distribution of water content in the Hweez dam soil and hence its stability. We will build a mathematical model for dam using PCSiWaPro® depending on transition flow chart. concerning that, hydraulic conductivity and volumetric water content in the soil are functions of pore water pressure. These equations with their functions give a smooth transition of the studied model where the saturated state is considered as a special case of the used equations.
The aim of this research is to predict the quantities of soil lost by the water erosion in the Al-Hawiz Dam basin area using GIS and RUSL. R factor was calculated through matimatical equation after collecting rain data during 2008-2017 from weather station at Basel-Al-Assad airport .k value of each soil sampl was calculated after determination of txture,structure,saturated hydrolic conductivity, and organic matter).a map were prepared showed local distribution of k values .slop factor was determined as well as using DEM for studied region, and slop map was introduced in mathematical equation through a GIS to obtain LS map .NDV used for studied region to calculate C map.To obtain predictive map of soil lost quantitis ,maps of LS,C,K was multiplicated with R value. The results showed that R value in studied region 342.78 ,while k factor value was 0.7-0.28.soil with low value concentrated at medium part of studied region,whil slop factor value was between 0 and 38.87.C factor value was 0.29 at west part and 0.98 at east part .prediction map of lost quantites was classified in to 4 degrees according erosion risk ( very low risk ,low,medium,high .The results of soil lost quantities were classified in to 4 classes in studied region : very low( 0-5) t/h/year,low( 5-12 ) t/h/year and medium ( 12-24 t/h/year and severe in which soil loss exceeded 24 t/h/year
This research includes analytical study by Finite Element Method about the effect of earthquakes in the stability of ALBASEL DAM, so we have set a numerical model suitable by using programs Slope/W, Quake/W. We run the model and we got the results of the simulation, which summarized in calculation factors of safety for verification the final stability of the dam under the effect of different intensity earthquakes. And then were compared between the two cases static and dynamic model showing the effect of the shear variables of the soil angle of internal friction and tendency of slops dam and the different situations of the lake water levels and the high of dam in addition to the effect of the construction material of the dam on the stability of the body of the dam. After the study each case depending on the parameters, that are entered, and based on the resulting factors of safety, the diagrams are painted to appear the positive or the negative effects to increase or decrease any variable of the dam variables in each of the static case and the dynamic case. And then we studied the effect of seismic Amplification resulting from the body of the dam on both the two horizontal and vertical component of seismic acceleration. The results will help us in a perfect choice for variables of Embankment dams for design.
