The section of a concrete gravity dam is shown in the figure. The depth of the
upstream side is 6.0 m. Neglect the hydrostatic uplift and use unit weight concrete equal
to 24 KN/m3. The coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and foundation is 0.4.
Determine the following: (a) factor of safety against sliding (b) factor of safety against
overturning (c)the overturning moment acting against the dam in KN-m.
