The construction and operation of earth dams (homogeneous and those of clay cores) arenormally controlled by the pore water pressure generated during these stages. These pore waterpressures are the main reason behind the dam deformations, settlements, and instability.Throughout the experimental part of the study, a large number of classification tests, physicaltests, and B -stress path tests were carried out. In the theoretical part of the study, the finiteelement analysis was adopted to assess the effect of the pore water pressure parameters of themarl (dam core) and the water contents of the compacted core layers on the expecteddeformations and stability of an earth dam throughout the construction and operation stages
