The figure is a section of a masonry dam resting on a previous foundation and subjected to water pressure shown. Specific gravity of masonry dam is 2.40. Assume that the path of percolation follows the line of contact between the foundation and the masonry and sheet piles. If the drop in the hydraulic gradient is directly proportional to the length of the path of percolation. Determine the moment about point C of the pressure (force) acting on the surface ABC per linear meter of dam. EL. 4.0m F EL.0 A 1.0m 1.0 m D 1.0 m 4.0m 1.0m 4.0m 2.0m
