Embankment dams play a crucial role in water resource management and flood control. To guarantee the stability and durability of these dams, much attention must be taken in their design and construction. To avoid failures and guarantee the safety of the nearby communities, research on the materials and building techniques used in embankment dam construction is crucial. Inadequate construction methods are among the main reasons embankment dams fail. As a result, establishing quality assurance and control procedures during the building process is essential. It has been determined that roller compaction is essential to maintaining the structural integrity of embankment dams. Future research directions in roller compaction quality control and assurance should focus on addressing potential issues that may arise during construction. An infrastructure that is durable and sustainable is necessary to ensure the longevity of embankment dams. Researchers can enhance the design and construction of embankment dams to withstand a range of environmental circumstances by implementing improved pavement materials and engineering approaches. Another important part of making sure embankment dams are stable is to keep an eye on how they are deforming. Researchers can forecast possible collapses and take proactive steps to reduce hazards by regularly observing the deformation trends of embankment dams. In the future, research on embankment dam building should concentrate on enhancing quality control procedures, introducing novel materials and engineering methods, and putting cutting-edge monitoring systems into practice.
