Question 14
A dam wall with dimensions as indicated in the sketch is built in a deep river valley. Assume that water has a density of 1000kgm3 and concrete has a density of 2400kgm3 Determine the maximum overturning moment (when the dam is 100% full), the moment resisting overturning and the Factor Safety against overturning. Only take into account the self-weight of the wall and the force from the water and disregard all forces on the sides of the wall.
