In this research, the instrumentation data during construction and first filling reservoir (first impounding) was analyzed. It measured internal deformations, pore water pressures and total vertical stresses and compared with the analysis results in Masjed-e-Soleiman dam. To do this analysis, GEOSTUDIO 2004 V. 6.02 software was used. The staged construction of the dam was the model in the form of 2D coupled consolidation. The Non-linear elastic model for the core material and Linear Elastic model for other zones were incorporated into the models. For exact assessment and to obtain correct parameters of the constitutive model, the triaxial tests were performed on the core material of Masjed-e-Soleiman Dam and acceptable results were obtained. }, URL = {http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-2507-en.html}, eprint = {http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-2507-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Water and Soil Science}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
