A concrete gravity dam has the following data: Maximum water level = 300.00 m Bed level = 220.00 m R.L top of dam = 304.00 m %3D The d/s slope of 0.67:1 starts at RL of 295.00 m U/s face is vertical. Center line of the drainage gallery = 8.0 m from u/s face. Consider only weight of dam, water pressure and uplift pressure. Calculate only the normal stresses at the toe and heel of the dam, assuming 100% uplift pressure at the h eel and 50% at the gallery and zero at the toe.

Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.
