suiwollel ons dit boe Example 3.2: Analyze the stability of the concrete gravity dam 68 m high shown in Figure 3.50 for the following conditions. The ice force is 30 kN/m. Friction coefficients between concretes, and concrete-foundation are 0.75. Compressive and shear strengths in concrete are 30 MPa and 6 MPa, respectively. Compressive strength of the foundation material is 90 MPa. Drainage system may reduce the uplift force by 50%. There is no tailwater. The earthquake coefficient is kk 0.1. The specific weights of concrete and water are 24 kN/m² and 10 kN/m³, respectively. The required safety factors can be taken as those of the extreme loading case.

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?
