Abstract : This study was designed to perform a detailed structural, paleostress, and seismicity analysis of the Jordan Wadi Ibn Hammad dam site and evaluate the dam’s vulnerability. Lithologically, the dam's left abutment was constructed on the Upper Cretaceous rocks, comprised of limestones, silicified limestones, chalk, dolomite, tripoli, and chert. The structure setup of the dam site is controlled by the Dead Sea Transform Fault System (DST), the ENE-WSW segment of the dextral strike-slip Siwaqa Fault,
