A concrete dam retaining 9 m of water at its upstream is shown in Figure. The depth of water at its downstream is 6 m and the unit weight of the concrete is 23.5kN/m2. The foundation soil is assumed to be impermeable. Determione the factor of safety of the dam against aliding if the coefficient of friction between the base of the dam and the foundatin soil is 0.48. |
