Question: Do the stability analysis for the section of the gravity dam shown below Under the overall load combination ( NLC + UL . C )

Do the stability analysis for the section of the gravity dam shown below Under the overall load combination (NLC +UL.C) for reservoir full condition.
Consider aiso Downstream passive weige resistance
There is crack at a distance of Sm from the heel of the dam
(14M)
A) Determine the Vertical normal stress, oz, on horizontal planes at the heel and toe of the dam?
B) Determine the Horizontal normal stress, or, on vertical planes at the heel and toe of the dam?
C) Deterine the principal & shear stresses at the heel and toe of the dam?
