Bottom ash,Earthen dam,Swedish slip circle method,Factor of safety

Agriculture is main industry in India. In this project we are improving the factor of safety of earthen dam by using bottom ash from coal industries. The factor of safety of earthen dam is most important. The soil which is used to construct the earthen dam is a natural property so that by mixing of bottom ash the in earthen dam we can save the soil and improve the factor of safety. Bottom ash is byproduct of coal industry. By using bottom ash in earthen dam we are solving the pollution problem. As the bottom ash is dumping on land by industries therefore the pollution is increased and the land is also required. So it is better to utilize the bottom ash in earthen dam. In the project we are taking the bottom ash from coal industry in Kolhapur. The earthen dam for case study of SarafNalla. SarafNalla is right bank tributary of river Hirenyakeshi having a confluences near village Khedage in Ajara Taluka of Kolhapur district. The soil sample of dam and bottom ash mix together by percent by weight in various percentages. The standard proctor test is conducted on these samples for finding optimum moisture content. The sample is selected on the basis of minimum optimum moisture content and maximum dry density is achieved. This sample is then tested for shear test to find out c and ∅ values. These results were used for a case study. In which Swedish slip circle method of slices is used for finding the factor of safety of earthen dam.
