For the maximum water height at full supply level, calculate the complete vectorof the resultant force on the central section of the dam wall per metre length,as it would pass through the dam base, with respect to the downstream toe (D).Account for the hydrostatic thrust force on the upstream (A-B) and downstream(C-D) faces of the dam, pore pressure on the base (A-D) and the weight of thedam wall.The weight of the radial gate and gate supporting structure can be ignored.Assume the radial gates are fully closed and there is no water on the spillway.
