Kinematical Element Method를 이용한 Carsington Dam의 안정해석

The stability of the Carsington dam at Derbyshire in middle Eng1and is analysed using the Kinematical Element Method (Program LSDKSLOP). The thin yellow clay layer and the pore pressure at the failure surface, which goes through the core and boot, are considered. The influence of the pre-existing shears of the yellow clay on the stability of the Carsington dam is studied. Comparisons with the calculated and the observed failure surface are presented.
