Effect of Pore Water Pressure Parameters on The Stability of AL-Ad'daim Earth Dam

Abstract
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 water
pressures are the main reason behind the dam deformations, settlements, and instability.
Throughout the experimental part of the study, a large number of classification tests, physical
tests, and B -stress path tests were carried out. In the theoretical part of the study, the finite
element analysis was adopted to assess the effect of the pore water pressure parameters of the
marl (dam core) and the water contents of the compacted core layers on the expected
deformations and stability of an earth dam throughout the construction and operation stages
