Question

A dam structure with a base of 18 meters is acted by the forces as shown. The upward ground reaction varies uniformly from an intensity Wᴀ= 122 kN/m to Wʙ = 178 kN/m at B. A seepage under a dam due to this ground reaction usually occurs that contributes the overturning failure of the dam.

a) Is the dam safe against overturning? (prove by computations)

b) Is the dam safe against sliding? (prove by computations) If not, research on the minimal solution to prevent the dam from sliding.
