Water backs up behind a concrete dam as shown in the Figure. Leakage under the foundation gives a pressure distribution under the dam as indicated. If the water depth, h, is too great, the dam will topple over about its toe (Point A). The width of the dam is L and the height of the dam is hd. Specific weight of the concrete is γc, the specific weight of the water is γw. Base your solution on a unit length of the dam. Sketch the free body diagram. Write the solution procedure step by step to determine the maximum water depth (h) in order not to cause any overturning about point A
