A dam is triangular in cross-section with the upstream face vertical. Water is flushed with the top. The dam is 8m high and 6m wide at the base and weighs 2.4 tons per cubic meter. The coefficient of friction between the base and the foundation is 0.8. Determine (a) maximum and minimum unit pressure on the foundation, and (b) factors of safety against overturning and against sliding. (~- 5.
