In the figure shown, the concrete dam is 11m high and 10m wide at the base. The specific gravity of concrete is 2.5 and height of water in the upstream side is 9m. Assume there is a hydrostatic uplift that varies uniformly from full hydrostatic head at the heel of the dam to zero at the toe and that the coefficient of friction between the dam and the foundation is 0.40. Is the dam safe from overturning and sliding? Also, find where the resultant crosses the base. (hint: full hydrostatic head on the heel pressure head at the upstream) 3m 2m 11m 9m 1.5m 1.5m 4.5m 4m
