1.) The specific weight of the concrete is 150 ??⁄??3, and the coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and the foundation is 0.42. If the factor of safety against overturning is 2, compute for the minimum width of the dam. CHOICES a.) 8.416 b.) 4.681 c.) 6.841 d.) 1. 684   2.)  The specific weight of the concrete is 150 ??⁄??3, and the coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and the foundation is 0.42. Use 1.5 as the factor of safety (F.S) against sliding. Calculate the width of concrete dam that is necessary to prevent the dam from sliding.
