FEADAM is a finite element program for static analyses of earth and rockfill dams modified from the earlier program ISBILD. FEADAM calculates the stresses, strains and displacement in embankments, simulating the actual sequence of construction operations. The nonlinear and stress dependent stress-strain properties of soils are approximated using a hyperbolic model developed by Duncan.
