STABILITY ANALYSIS OF ROCK SLOPES

The stability of five major slide areas along the shore line of the Kastraki reservoir in Greece, impounded by an earth dam in 1969, is examined by the author. Two-dimensional finite-element analysis is employed to define the potential slide areas for each slope. These areas have been caused by the filling of the reservoir and the forces from the rising ground water.
