Abstract :
    One of the important issue on design of dam is dam stability analysis and there are several ways to check the stability of earth dams. Among these methods the simplicity and economically method that has been most widely used is limit balance method. In this study this methods is used by Geoslope software. Dam slope stability analysis were simulated. Moshampa Dam is located in northern Iran. Results showed that earth dams with clay core in terms of stresses and forces caused by leaks in several modes of load conduct properly and is not same statically. Earth dam also are economically better that other dams.
