    This document contains calculations for designing a check dam. It lists dimensions for the check dam including a total height of 4.2 meters, base width of 2.1 meters, and top width of 0.3 meters. It also lists material properties like soil and concrete densities. The calculations determine forces on the dam from water pressure, passive earth pressure, and sliding forces. It is determined that increasing the base width to 2.8 meters would make the design safe against sliding and within acceptable pressure limits.
