PROBLEM. 2 Cosider the gravity-concrete dam of unit width (1 m) normal to the picture given below. The weight-creep ratio (Lane coefficient) for the foundation soil is given as C= 5. Specific weight of water is yw = 9810 N/m³. By means of the Lane Method; a) Find the necessary length (height) of the impervious pile-curtain-wall under the dam (x= ?) not to have "piping" or "pop-off" or "roofing". b) Find the magnitudes of pressure distribution at the bottom foundation line (surface) of the dam (show the magnitudes of pressure distribution along the foundation line of the dam). c) Find the magnitude of the total up-lift force acting on the bottom foundation of the dam water reservoir Concrete Dam 30m 0.00 -dry bottom 0.00 XPile-curtain wall 5m 20m 15m P foundation Soil
