dc.descriptionAbstract: The WES-Palmerton finite element computer program was used to make a preliminary study of the effects of construction sequence and nonlinear modulus on cracking in earth dams. Results of the nonlinear analysis are compared with linear elastic one-step analyses and linear elastic construction step analyses including low tension modulus. Linear elastic, one-step analyses gave the largest tension zone, and no tension zone occurred in the nonlinear analyses. No provisions were included for tensile strength of the soil.-
