AB - Although the main concern when designing or analysing embankment dams is their stability, assessing their deformation pattern is also important. This paper describes the recent use of advanced numerical analysis to predict the latter, and examples of its use in assessing likely movements of a series of embankment dams constructed in the UK are provided. Various phases in dam life are considered: embankment construction, first reservoir impounding, subsequent reservoir operation and raising the dam crest level. The use of adequate constitutive laws and, in particular, the importance of modelling the prepeak (and post-peak) plastic behaviour of in-situ and embankment fill materials during loading, unloading and re-loading is clearly demonstrated.
