Example (2): A hydrologic study for a gravity dam in fig. suggest the maximum depth of water in the dam reservoir about 30m, the speed of wind is 15km/hr, the length of fetch is 35km, from the soil investigation the allowable stress on the soil foundation is 150 kN/m, and the design acceleration coefficient of the earth quake is (Kh 0.1 Earth quake coefficient in horizontal acceleration ), assume full uplift, u-0.74 and neglect sediment, ice, and wave forces, determine: 1. Free board, 2. Stability against sliding, 3. Stability against overturning. 4. Stress on foundation, it is safe or not. 30m 12m
