Abstract
Earthen dams and embankments play a very important role in water management and infrastructure development where embankments built out of soil make the bases of highways and rail tracks.

Notes
- 1.
This is considered constant over the depth in this case.
- 2.
For further explanation of how to modify the damping and shear modulus with respect to shear strain, refer Chap. 8 titled Geotechnical Consideration for Dynamic Soil–Structure Interaction.
- 3.
Means result slightly in the higher side with respect to exact solution.
