Question: Q - 4 ( 3 0 points ) Analyze the overturning stability ( i . e . , force ratio > 2 . 0 )

Q-4(30 points)
Analyze the overturning stability (i.e., force ratio >2.0) of the gravity dam depicted in Figure 2 below for
the following conditions: Friction factor between concrete-foundation is 0.7. The specific gravity of
concrete is 2.5 and the specific gravity of the silty sand is 1.8. Assumes the uplifting pressure varies linearly
from a maximum of 80% of the full hydrostatic pressure at the heel to the full hydrostatic pressure at the
toe. Neglect earthquake forces. Table 2.1 is attached.
(g=9.81ms2),(w=10kNm3)
