The eastern slope of the Beni-Haroun Dam exhibits several unstable zones caused by significant ground movements. A combination of several factors triggers these movements, including lithological nature, topography, rainfall, and human activities (excavation within the village, road embankments, embankments related to dam reinforcement at the foot of the slope, and overloading of buildings and embankments).
These ground movements have caused significant damage to road infrastructure, particularly National Road 27, and to buildings in the locality of Sibari on the right bank of the Beni-Haroun Dam. They also pose a major problem of siltation within the dam. An accurate diagnosis of these movements allows for the implementation of more appropriate solutions.
