This article states the in vitro and analytical investigation in stability of homogenous embankment dams. Using PET recycles and studying their effects on homogeneous embankment dam's safety is the innovation of this investigation. This study includes three phases as laboratory phase, building the dam and separating lumped element model. Increasing the stability of reinforced dam by PET recycles to 21.38% than unreinforced dams is another finding of this study.
