The importance of the unsaturated soil behavior has been recognized within the soil mechanics, so that in recent decades the geotechnical has much evolved in order to understand the behavior of soils with the objective of improving and improvement of engineering projects. One of the soil characteristics not saturated is the increase of internal stresses due to the suction phenomenon. This one voltage increase has proven influence on many characteristics of the soil as in its permeability, compressibility, shear strength, etc., but many studies currently performed using the concepts of the mechanics of traditional soil, not taking into account the behavior of unsaturated soils, among them are Stability analysis on earth dams. This work has as main goal to evaluate the influence of non-soil saturation on slope stability analysis in dam ground during filling. To this end, it conducted a flow analysis and stability in Fishing dam-CE. To determine the geotechnical parameters of the massif, were Soil samples taken for performing characterization tests, compression, permeability and direct shear. Also tests were performed for determining soil characteristic curve by the method of the filter paper. Starting from results of geotechnical, transient simulations were made for a period of 60 (sixty months) of operation Fishing dam. For flow simulations, it was possible know the flow conditions over the analysis period. Based on the results of the transient percolation study were performed stability analysis in the downstream slope period for filling the reservoir. The stability simulations were made by two methodologies: taking into account the suction present in massive and one based on traditional methodology. The results obtained was found to influence the stability of slope to consider suction, seeing a reduction in safety factor as It is the advance of the saturation front. It was also found that the results it was suction considered in stability analysis, the values of the factors of safety were higher than that provided by traditional methodology, noting the conservatism of traditional methodology.
