Q-4 (30 points) Determine whether the gravity dam depicted in Figure 3 below is safe against overturning (i.e., force ratio > 2.0). The dam is 50 ft high, the specific gravity of concrete is 2.4, and full uplift forces exist on the base of the dam. The thickness of the silt-water layer is 6 ft and has a specific gravity of 1.5. Neglect earthquake forces. (g = 32.2 ft/s2), (Yw = 62.3 10 ft + 5 ft 45 ft silt Heel 45 ft Toe Figure 3
