The section of a concrete dam is shown in the figure. Concrete weighs 24.5kN/m and water weighs 9810N/mCoefficient of friction between the dam and the foundation is 0.65. Assume hydrostatic uplift varies uniformly from full hydrostatic head at the heel of the dam to 20% of full hydrostatic head at the toe. Consider 3m length of the dam. Determine the following: A. Factor of safety against sliding B. Factor of safety against overturning C. Minimum & Maximum soil pressure 10 m Hi H2 H3 1 m Im 3 m 9 m H5 B B1 B2 B3 2 m 1 m 6 m FEED 1 m re IH н, H HA HS B B co B
