Question #2: (60 marks) For the gravity dam configuration shown, calculate different forces acting on the dam for the following loading conditions: > Silt Deposit up to 30m Height. - Unit Weight of Concrete (Vc) = 2.5 ton/m - Unit Weight of Silty Water = 1.25 ton/m3 => Submerged Weight of Silt (ys) = 1.1 ton/m3 - Coeff. of Friction = 0.65 -> Angle of Repose of Silt = 30° Hydrodynamic Pressure Pe = 0.55(KH.Yw.h?) acting at 4h/311 from the base of the dam. - Horizontal Earthquake Coefficient (Kn) = 0.15 - No Wave Pressure and no Ice Pressure. 20 m 10 in 22 m 155 m 12 m 160 m
