Fos Rapid Drawdown

Computes the factor of safety before and after rapid reservoir drawdown on an embankment dam upstream slope using the simplified infinite slope method per USACE EM 1110-2-1902. Assumes undrained pore-pressure response in low-permeability core materials, comparing the submerged steady-state condition to the post-drawdown condition where full saturated weight drives shear but pore pressures remain elevated.
