A trapezoidal masonry dam is 10 m high and retains water upto the height of 8.5 m. The width at the top is 3 m and at bottom 6 m. Find the maximum and minimum intensities of the normal stress at the base. Take Density of Masonry D 22 kN/m3. Coefficient of friction between the dam and soil is 0.50. Allowable compressive stress is 340000 N/m2. Check for stability of the dam.

Beams

In structural engineering, a beam is a component made of a variety of materials (including steel alloys, and wood) that can resist loads applied laterally to the beam axis. Members, elements, rafters, shafts, and purlins are all terms used to describe beams.
