A concrete dam with a specific weight of 24 kN/m carries water upstream at 18 m elevation from the base of the dam as shown in the figure. Determine the resultant force at the face of the dam considering a meter width, the distance of the force from the base of the dam, and the factors of safety against overturning and sliding. Assume no uplift force below the dam. The coefficient of Friction is 0.65. Figure 3 3 m 3 m 20 m 18 m 15 m
