A masonry dam as shown has a coefficient of permeability in the vertical and horizontal direction of Kz=4.5m/day and Kx=óm/day, respectively. Assume length into the paper =35m and base width = 40m. 24 m a) Determine the seepage (lit/sec) into the downstream side per meter of the dam. 0.525 lit/sec b) Calculate the average of the pressure of the toe and heel of the dam in kPa. c) Calculate the total uplift force in x10^3 kN.
