Question

A concrete dam retaining water is shown. If the specific weight of the concrete is 23.54 kN/m3, find the maximum pressure on the base. Assume there is no hydrostatic uplift and that the coefficient of friction between dam and foundation soil is 0.48.

Y = 5.6 m

B = 3.2 m

W = 1.6

h = 4.8
