Abstract
In Japan, the stability of a rockfill dam is generally evaluated using the circular sliding method. In this paper, we make stability analyses for a rockfill dam with a central earth core, which is designed by the present design standard, using circular sliding method, compound sliding plane method and sliding-wedge method. Based on the analytical results, we discuss the downstream sliding plane with the safety factor for rockfill dams with a central earth core.
