    A concrete dam is shown retaining water. The factor of safety against sliding is calculated to be 1.35 and the factor of safety against overturning is calculated to be 2.19. The pressure intensity at the base of the dam varies from full hydrostatic pressure at the heel to zero at the toe.

    • Sit Work:

    A concrete dam retaining water shown. If the specific weight of concrete is 23.5 KN/,
    find the Factor of Safety against Sliding and Overturning and the pressure intensity of the
    base. Assume there is a hydrostatic uplift that varies uniformly from full hydrostatic head
    at the heel and zero at toe and the coefficient of friction between the dam and foundation
    is 0.45.
