Assuming that no tensile stress can occur between the reinforced concrete dam body and the ground, the dimensions of which are given in the figure, calculate the height h at which the water body can safely rise for the pressure safety stress obem=4 MPa in the ground and plot the normal stress distribution for this case. The unit volume weights of concrete and water are pb=24 kN/m³ and ps=10 kN/m³, respectively. (Calculations will be made for unit length.) 30m 16m 6m 3
