A concrete dam retaining water is shown in the figure. If the specific weight of the concrete is 23.5 kN/m3, Find the factor of safety against overturning. Assume there is no hydrostatic uplift, and that the coefficient of friction between the dam and foundation soil is 0.48. Find the factor of safety against sliding. Assume there is hydrostatic uplift that varies from full head at the heel to zero at the toe, and that the coefficient of friction between the dam and foundation soil is 0.58. Find the minimum pressure intensity on the base. Assume there is no hydrostatic uplift, and that the coefficient of friction between the dam and foundation soil is 0.48.
