Earthfill Dam

[danionescu]

I'm looking for very good references-English units (with exemple problems, if possible) regarding:
-dam settlement calculation and
-stability calculation of the foundation under different operating conditions,
of an earthfill dam no higher than 25 feet.
Can anyone help?

Design of Small Dams by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation would the obvious place to start.

if in the U.S., contact your local state dam safety division and they would probably be more than happy to help you. Check the following website

Here is a link to the .pdf version of "Design of Small Dams", that GeoPaveTraffic recommended. It is a large .pdf file, about 65 MB
