DAM DESIGN   Design a dam structure (your choice of shape and size) which will collect water and will be used for water supply, power generation, and flood control. Consider that the maximum water surface level requirement before overturning will be 75 m in reference to the base of the dam.   Size the dam considering 1-m width in the analysis Check if the dam design will pass the safety factors against sliding and overturning of 2.0   NOTE: Scoring will be based from the method of analysis, NOT on the result of safety factors. Thus, SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.

Concepts of Flood Control

Flooding is a temporary overflow of water that submerges or covers the the usually dry land. It can also be defined as the overflow of the excess amount of water that covers a huge area of land which is normally dry.
