Failure of Zoned Earth Dam (An analysis of earth dam break)
Journal of University of Babylon for Engineering Sciences, 2019 One of the most common type of embankment dam failure is the dam-break due to overtopping. In this study, the finite elements method has been used to analyze seepage and limit equilibrium method to study stability of the body of an earthfill dam during the flood condition.

Parametric Study of Filter Lengths Effect on Stability of Earth Dams
Eurasian Journal of Science and Engineering, 2020 Seepage is one of the main reasons behind the earth’s dam failure which needs high attention to prevent or govern its negative effect. One of the most effective parts that may reduce the effect of seepage and keep it within permissible limits is the ...
