Answer correctly pls. Dont round off initial values, round only in final ans ty
A masonry dam of trapezoidal cross section, with one face vertical, has a thickness of 2ft at the top and 10ft at the bottom. It is 22ft high and has a horizontal base. The inclined face is subjected to water pressure, the water standing to a depth of 15ft above the base. The weight of the masonry is 150lb per cu ft. If there is no hydrostatic uplift, where will the resultant pressure intersect the base? Is this a good design?
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.

Answer
Show all the needed calculations that will lead you to conclude that your design is safe. Given Conditions: Coefficient of Friction is 0.5 and the soil bearing capacity is 125kPa. A dam is to be constructed to supply irrigation to farms. As a low dam its height is limited to 3m and the freeboard is set to 0.5m. Design the trapezoidal dam to be as safe under all conditions.
