A cross-section of a concrete gravity dam is show in figure. Analyze the stability of the block for full and empty upstream reservoir cases, separately. Ignore earthquake. silt, and ice forces. Specific weights of concrete and water are 23kN m and 10 kN m, respectively. Compressive and shear strengths of concrete are 35 MPa and 6 MPa, respectively. The coefficient of friction between block and foundation is 0.65. There is no tailwater in the downstream. Require safety factors can be taken as those of usual loading. 4 m 12 m 1H:4V 1H:12V

Please give proper solution other wise skip I want to learn. A Masonry dam 8 m high, 1.5 m wide at top and 5 m wide at the base retains water to a depth of 7.2 m, the water face of the dam being vertical. Find maximum and minimum stress intensities at the base. The weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³ and weight of masonry is 22 kN/m².
