In this study, Bahç / elik Dam, which is located in Kayseri Province, is
investigated by means of horizontal movement due to reservoir loading and
seepage inside the core and body. Two dimensional plain strain finite element
analyses are carried out in order to find total stresses, displacements and pore
water pressures. Mohr-coulomb soil model is used to represent elastic behavior
of rock-fill material. Since there is no information about material used in dam
body, material parameters are determined by sensitivity analyses being in the
range of data acquired from literature survey. Calculated displacement and pore
water pressures are compared to the data taken from field survey on actual dam
body. As a conclusion remark, it is beleived that the horizontal displacement
behaviour of two systems, such as real dam and computer modelling, would not
match excatly since the materials used in real dam body would behave as plastic
whereas that used in computer modelling assumed to be elastic.
