Candidates are asked to consider the engineering design of a vertical faced gravity dam wall, such as the one shown on the left. This question would be open: ended and allows you to engage in a dialogue with the candidate about what is involved in considering the problem. (ps: a discussion about the weight of the wall, the water pressure and the line of action of the resultant water force on the wall, possibly leading to an integral if the candidate has covered the relevant mathematics. Having identified the forces on the wall, the candidate might then be asked to assess the stability of the wall under the applied forces.) Dam Wall Ground Water
