8. A concrete gravity dam is 60m above the deepest foundation. Free board is 3.2m, top
width is 7m.The upstream face has a slope of 0.15 H:1 V for the lowest 15m depth and
vertical for the remaining upper part. The downstream face is vertical for the first 6m,
thereafter it is sloping at 1V :0.75 H. Drainage gallery is 6m from the upstream face.
Tail water depth is 2m.Sp. Wt. of concrete is 25KN/m3.Coefficient of uplift and
friction 0.7 each. Check the stability of dam for reservoir full condition.

1. In order to find the factor of safety of d/s slope during steady seepage ,the section of the
dam was drawn to scale of 1cm= 4m ,and the following results obtained on a critical
slip surface :
• Laboratory test have furnished values of 26 for effective angle and 19.5 KN/m2 for cohesion
• In order to find the factor of safety of d/s slope during steady seepage ,the section of the dam
was drawn to scale of 1cm= 4m+ R/10 ,and the following results obtained on a critical slip
surface :
Free board =2m,upstream slope= 4: 1, downstream slope = 3:1 , top width= 6m, length of
filter =20+R/50 m ,.determine the phreatic line for this dam section and discharge passing
through the dam.
3. In a slip circle analysis of d/s slope of dam was drawn to a scale 1 cm = 5 m+ R/20 .
