Study of Geometric Elements for the Proposed Protecting Dam Reservoir in Al-Fat'ha Area, Iraq

Partially constructed Makhul dam may collapse after the operation due to the geological and geotechnical background of the foundations zone, and the presence of gypsum layers in this zone, Then the construction of Al-Fat'ha protection dam is one of the proposed solutions. The present study used...
