The study was carried out for the strength parameter of coarse grained Soil and slope stability analysis of earth dam. The test samples were taken fifteen kinds of soil from cohesive soil to coarse gravel. The degree of compaction of test samples for shear test and permeability test was chosen 95 percentage of maximum dry density. The results of this study are as follows ; 1.The maximum dry density(Yd) of coarse grained soil increase in proportion to coarse particles(P) with the relation of Y d= 1.609+0.0043P. 2.The coefficients of permeability(k) decrease by the increase of fine particles(n) with the relation of k=0.0426e-0 185n. 3.The cohesions of soil decrease by the increase of coarse particles, but internal friction angles are more increased in same condition. 4.The internal friction angles(${Phi}$) decrease in inverse proportion to void ratio(e) with the relation of ${Phi}$ = 73.068 - 69.268e. 5.The strength parameters( Ct ${Phi}$t) by triaxial compression test are clearly smaller than that (Cd, ${Phi}$d) by direct shear test in fine grained soil, but the differences between both parameters are a little in coarse grained soil.The relations of both parameters are as follows; Ct = O.544Cd + 0.04 ${Phi}$t= 1.282${Phi}$d-2306 6.In cohesive soil, the strength parameters( Cl ${Phi}$l) by large size shear test apparatus are similar to the strength parameters(Cs , ${Phi}$s) by small size shear test appratus, but Cs and ${Phi}$s values are larger than Cl and ${Phi}$l values from 10 percentage to 20 percentage in coarse grained soil. 7.The fine grained soil is inappropriate to high dam more than 20 meters and it must be taken coarse grained soil with high internal friction angle for high dam.
