Stability Analysis of Bhimdi Earth Dam

Abstract — The design of earth and rock-fill dams involves many considerations that must be examined before initiating detailed stability analyses. Such as geological and subsurface explorations, the earth and/or rock-fill materials available for construction should be carefully studied. This paper focuses on the verification of stability of ?Bhimdi earth dam? situated near Warud Dist. Amravati (Maharashtra) by changing different parameters such as changing berm width, changing position of filter drains and to gain desire stability how much strengthening required that was carried out by using software Geo-studio. The Existing design results are compared with the simulated results obtained from software
