Following data were obtained from the stability analysis of a concrete gravity dam. Total overturning moment about toe = 3 × 105 ton-m. Total resisting moment about toe = 4 x 105 ton-m. Total downward weight of the dam = 6000 tones Total uplift force = 1000 tones, Base width of dam = 50m Calculate maximum and minimum pressure on the soil.
