Abstract: Seepage analysis is very important to ascertain the stability of structure or seepage itself. The stability of seepage depends upon on its geometry, its components, material properties of each component and the forces to which it is subjected. The methodology and assumption implicated by various analyzing techniques regarding the seepage sustainability investigation on soil embankment are considered and their characteristics are listed. The principles involved and equation to compute the stability or amount of flow taken place in embankment dam. The consideration of these data are also studied in order to select a suitable method using finite element method Geo-studio SEEP/W for the seepage analysis that satisfies almost all the conditions and given the more accurate results. Seismic performance is one of the most important issues for homogeneous earth fill dam which are constructed in regions that height, slope angle and amplitude of input motion on the peak crest acceleration. The present works deals with an important and complex issue in geotechnical and earthquake engineering. This concerns the influence of both elasticity and pore- water pressure on the seismic response of earthen dams to artificial earthquake records using finite element software QUAKE/W in Geo studio.
