Study and comparison of analysis methods of embankment dam stability in GEO STUDIO

Analysis of dam slope stability is one of the most important needed analyzes in design of soil dams. Considering present common and various methods about analysis type and applying limited components and limited difference and…,the model analyzing and discussable difference among obtained results from each one of the methods, the choice of style and sometimes analytical software has been examinable issue behalf of scientists. In this study a dam with geo technical features, same conditions and geometry (through two methods including Grid & Radius and Entry & Exit) with Slop/W program, and resulted confidence coefficients against their slip and failure were compared
