Transcribed Image Text:SITUATION 2.1 A trapezoidal dam having a top width of 1.0m and a bottom
width of 3.0m is 4.0m high. The depth of water on the vertical side of the dam is
3.5m. Unit weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m3. Considering hydrostatic uplift.
a) Find the factor of safety against overturning.
b) Find the factor against sliding if the coefficient of friction between dam
and the soil is 0.85.
H = 4.00 meters
H = 3.50 meters
