An 18 meter base dam was acted by forces as shown below. The reaction from the upward ground varies uniformly from the intensity of y=133 kN/m to x=168 kN/m at B. Under the dam is a seepage that usually occurs due to the ground reaction that contributed to the overturning failure of the dam. a. Using computation, show if the dam is safe from overturning b. Using computation, determine if the dam is safe from sliding, provide solution to prevent the dam from sliding
