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 ULC for reservoir full condition.
Consider aiso Downstream passive weige resistance
There is crack at a distance of Sm from the heel of the dam
M
