The present study analyzes the behavior of the stress to which the PACALORI project dams will be subject to. Prior to the calculation, sampling and testing are performed to assign own resistance geotechnical characteristics of foundation and the embankment. Then, the SLOPE/W software is used to model the dam's geometry and mechanical characteristics are introduced; these parameters will govern the behavior of the structure itself. Variability of hypotheses are considered that can be assigned to the methods used in the slope stability analysis, and the conditions in which they are obtaining a reliable safety factor.
