masonry dam is triangular in cross section with the upstream face vertical. Water is flush with the top. The dam is 8m high and 6m wide at the base. The specific gravity of masonry is 2.4 while the coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and the foundation is 0.80. Calculate the maximum pressure intensity due to the reaction at the base (kN/m2 )
