Application of limit equilibrium and shear strength reduction techniques for stability assessment of upstream and downstream slope cuts- A case study ofKhalid-Dijo dam project, Southern Ethiopia
Demeke Wendim
Abstract:Dam failure can occur due to various reasons like structural instability, downstream and upstream slopes instability. The downstream and upstream slope cuts of Khalid-Dijo irrigation dam project has assessed by integrating both limit equilibrium and finite element methods. In this research, limit equilibrium methods such as Morgenstern-Price, Spencer and Janbu corrected methods were utilized. Because those methods are satisfies both force and moment equilibriums. In addition, numerical finite element shear str… Show more
