The concrete gravity dam is held in place by its own weight. If the density of concrete is c and water has a density w, determine the smallest dimension d that will prevent the dam from overturning about its end A. Units Used: Mg = 103 kg Given: c = 2.5Mg/m3 w = 1.0Mg/m3 h = 6 m g =
The concrete "gravity" dam is held in place by its own weight. If the density of concrete is ρc and water has a density ρw, determine the smallest dimension d that will prevent the dam from overturning about its end A.
Units Used:
Mg = 103 kg
Given:
ρc = 2.5Mg/m3
ρw = 1.0Mg/m3
h = 6 m
g = 9.81m/s2
