Effect of hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soil on the earth dam performance

In this paper, the finite element method is uzed to solve the governing equations of flow through earth dams. The computer program Geo-Slope is used in the analysis through its sub-program named SEEP/W. A case study is considered to be Al-Adhaim dam which consists of zoned embankment with a total le...
