Example (1) for the gravity dam in fig., the geotechnical report refers to the bearing capacity of soil under foundation is 150KN/m, check if the section satisfy this requirement or not? Assume free board is 4m; consider the weight, hydrostatic force, earth quake coefficient 0.1g, and water pressure. Neglect all other forces 6m
