This paper presents research carried out on the earth dam stability to the combined actions of the site. The earth dam is located in Iasi, Romania. Researches were performed for several earth dam operating scenarios. First stage research considered the phenomenon of filtration through dam by Darcy's Law. Second stage of the research considered the filtration phenomenon according to post-Darcy law. Scenarios for monitoring the dam stability considered the main operating situations. The filtration and embankment behavior simulation was analyzed using a specialized soft. The studies and research results shows the differentiated behavior of dam slopes. The research results are used to design of dam rehabilitation works. Monitoring plays an essential role in evaluating the structural safety condition of dams. Monitoring activities are also useful for the collection of valuable data to enhance the understanding of the behavior of these structures.
