1- Calculate the maximum and minimum normal stress intensities at the base of dam section shown below when the reservoir is (a) empty and (b) full. Neglect earthquake fect. Aslo calculate sliding factor and shear friction factor of safety. Assume sbear strength 35 kg/sq em, coefficient of friction u as 0.75 and weight of concrete 400 kg/m 9m Em 12m 88m 168m 0.15 0.8 0 74m 1.0l Toe Heel L1.10m 124.Bm- 144.9m 2- For a preliminary design of a concrete gravity dam calculate the efect of earthquake with the following data () Dam assumed to be of triangular section (i) Base width 40 metres: (iii) Height of dam 60 metres (do) Horizontal earthquake acceleration of the foundation upstream equals 0.1 (e) Specific gravity of the material used in dam 2.4
