Stability Calculations of Buttress Dams

(OP)
I am in search of guidence on calculations of global stability as it relates to butress dams.  I have a project involving a buttress dam founded on shales and would like to gain more sources for determination of sliding, overturning, foundation failure, and other stability modes.
