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?
