Analyze the safety factor of dam (shown in figure) for overturning and sliding. Material below dam is permeable. For the problem, use friction factor f= 0.75 between dam and surface material, unit weight of water and concrete are yw= 10 kN/mÂș, y= 24 kN/m?, respectively. Calculate (10 points) (a) Safety factor against sliding and Overturning without water at downstream side (Case A) (b) Safety factor against sliding and Overturning with water depth of 4 m at downstream side. (Case A) (c) What is difference between safety factor for Case A and B. Which one is your more preferred design? 2 m 2 m 12 m 12 m 10 m 10 m 5 m 4 m 2 m 2 m 10 m 10 m Case A Case B
