1.1 This standard covers the procedure for analysing the stability of earth dam slopes for different conditions of loading to which the dam is expected to be subjected during its life time. The analysis covers types of shear test results to be used, conditions requiring analysis, computation of pore pressures, methods of analysis and considerations for earthquake forces.
1.2 This standard does not cover special cases such as transition between earth dam and masonry and concrete dam.
1.3 This standard does not cover stability analysis of rockfill dams.
