Example: for homogeneous earth dam shown in fig. Cohesion $($C$)=2\mathrm{.}4$ ton$/$m$2$

Angle of internal friction $(\backslash$theta $)=25$o

$\backslash$gamma d$=1\mathrm{.}8$ ton$/$m$3$

Submerged weight of soil $\backslash$gamma s$=1\mathrm{.}2$ ton$/$m$3$

$,$

Area above the phreatic line$=380$ m

$2$

Area below the phreatic line$=929$ m

$2,$

Now, check the overall stability of the dam.
