1. The section of a concrete dam is shown in the figure. Concrete weighs 23.5 kN per cubic meter and water weighs 9,790N per cubic meter. Coefficient of friction detween the dam and foundation is 0.55. Determine the factors of safety against sliding and against overturning and also the soil pressure at the heel and toe. Assume hydrostatic uplift varies uniformly from full hydrostatic head at the heel of the dam to zero at the toe. Consider 1 m length of dam. Ans. FS. = 2.20; FSs = 1.66 qheel = 85.2kPa; qtoe = 300.2kPa
