If the allowable compressive stress at the toe is 345 kPa and neglecting hydrostatic uplift, determine: a. Depth of water on the upstream vertical side of the dam. b. Factor of safety against sliding if the coefficient of friction is 0.60. c. Factor of safety against overturning.

A rectangular flume is 15 cm wide and 8 cm high. The freeboard is 25% of the flume height. What is the hydraulic radius in cm?
An engineer proposes as a solution to the problem of the dam, to reinforce it according to the figure shown, but now the critical height h of the water level must be determined, which would make the indicated concrete reinforcement on the verge of overturning due to the water pressure. The density of the concrete 2.40 Mg/m^3, H=18m and d= 6m. Hints: use typical values of water, consider one meter width of the dam to then generalize and don't forget point A.
