*SHOW COMPLETE AND CLEAR SOLUTION. SHOW FREE BODY DIAGRAM (FBD) A dam structure with a base of 18 meters is acted by the forces as shown. The upward ground reaction varies uniformly from an intensity of WA= 122 kN/m to WB = 178 kN/m at B. A seepage under a dam due to this ground reaction usually occurs that contributes to the overturning failure of the dam. a.) Is the dam safe against overturning? (Prove by computations) b.) Is the dam safe against sliding? (Prove by computations) If not, research on the minimal solution to prevent the dam from sliding.
A well was constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells were constructed at distances of 350 m and 800m respectively. At a steady pumping rate of 0.39 m^3/min, the drawdown in the observation wells were respectively equal to 1.6 m and 7.8 m.
