[3] OL and OH soils are not recommended for major portions of the cores of earthfill<br />
dams. PT soils are unsuitable.<br />
[4] Rapid drawdown will not affect the upstream slope of a zoned embankment that has<br />
a large upstream pervious shell.<br />
3. Experience of Australia<br />
For homogenous dams the following batter slopes are recommended for embankments<br />
built of soils classified according to the Unified Soil Classification system<br />
Table 5.24 – Batter slope with soil classification and height.[4]<br />

Notes: U/S = upstream slope and D/S = downstream slope<br />
Rapid drawdown rates of 1.0 m/day.<br />
“P” = pervious denotes soils which are not suitable.<br />
4. Experience of Japan<br />
The cross section shape of the dam shall be determined in accordance with calculations<br />
to ensure its stability.<br />
The standard cross section diagram shown in Figure 5.17 and Table 5.25 shall be used<br />
in determining the cross section shape of the dam. The thickness of the paved portion is not to<br />
be included in the height of the dam when the top of the dam is used as a road.<br />
