Abstract/Additional Information
Slope stability analyses can be used to evaluate the performance of an existing dam, design a new dam, or design a dam safety modification. But, like all models, the output is only as good as the input. This webinar will discuss how to effectively plan for and implement slope stability analyses such that the result meets the objective.  

Key Takeaways: 
1. Planning for slope stability analyses.
2. Understanding the selection of loading conditions.  
3. Understanding the selection of material properties.
4. Modeling considerations.
5. Reviewing, interpreting, and reporting results.
