Question:
A concrete dam is being built to hold back water in a reservoir. The dam is 50m high and 300m wide at the base, and the top of the dam is 5m wide. The weight of the dam structure and the water it will contain must be balanced by the strength of the soil on which the dam rests. The specific weight of concrete is 2500 kg/m^3, and the specific weight of water is 1000 kg/m^3. Determine the total weight of the dam structure and the water it will contain, and calculate the total vertical load on the soil at the base of the dam.
