A concrete dam retaining water is shown in the figure. Using a unit weight for concrete equivalent to 150 pcf, determine the factor of safety against sliding, factor of safety against overturning and the pressure intensity at the base of the dam. Assume that the coefficient of friction between the dam and the foundation soil is 0.45
