Kenyir dam is re-designed as concrete gravity dam and the geometric properties are shown in FIGURE Q1. The safety factor and stability condition are given as follows:
Allowable safety factor of sliding
Allowable safety factor for overturning
Specific weight of concrete, c
Specific weight of concrete, w
Specific weight of concrete, w
Note that the forces are calculated in kNm length.
=,0.7ycc
=,1.5
=,24kNm3Yc
=,9.81kNm3Y
a. Suggest THREE (3) methods to control the uplift force.
[3 marks]
b. Analyze the forces acting on the dam structures.
[12 marks]
c. Evaluate the stability of the dam per unit length against overturning and sliding.
[10 marks]
