Stability analysis of the rock slope in the Zimapan Arch Dam Reservoir, Mexico
Abstract. The history case of the rock slide in the reservoir of 200-m-high Zimapan Arch Dam (Mexico) is discussed. The problem required the stability analysis of this rock masse with the evaluation of its volume to estimate the consequences of the rock mass falling into the reservoir. The results of the analysis of the unstable zone with the estimated volume of 14.6×$ 10^{6} $ $ m^{3} $ are presented. The "Deficit of Stability Method" is described. The analysis consists in the consecutive examination of rock blocks or wedges located on different parts of the polygonal sliding surface, beginning with the upper one.
