Stability charts for earth slopes during rapid drawdown
Stability charts are presented to facilitate computation of factor of safety of earth slopes during rapid drawdown; as reservoir level is lowered, factor of safety decreases if it be assumed that no dissipation of pore pressure occurs during drawdown; pore pressures during drawdown have been estimated by assuming that pore pressure ratio is unity and stability calculation for range of sections and soil parameters commonly encountered in earth dam practice have been carried out using electronic computer in order to obtain data given in charts.
