    The document provides the details and calculations to analyze the stability of two gravity dams. For the first dam, it calculates the location of the resultant force, factors of safety against sliding and overturning, and pressures at the heel and toe. For the second triangular dam, it similarly calculates the factors of safety against overturning and sliding, and the maximum pressure at the base. The calculations involve determining forces, moments, and pressures using principles of statics and properties of the dam materials.

    DATE SUBMITTED
    1. THE SECTION OF THE MASONRY DAM IS AS SHOWN. THE SPECIFIC WEIGHT OF
    WATER IS 9.81 kN/m3 AND THAT OF CONCRETE IS 23.54 kN/m3. ASSUMING UPLIFT
    PRESSURE VARIES LINEARLY FROM MAXIMUM HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE AT THE
    HEEL TO ZERO AT THE LOCATION OF THE DRAIN, DETERMINE THE

    (a.) LOCATION OF THE RESULTANT FORCE,


    (b.) FACTOR OF SAFETY AGAINST SLIDING IF COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION IS 0.75,
    (c.) FACTOR OF SAFETY AGAINST OVERTURNING,
    (d.) THE PRESSURE AT THE HEEL AND AT THE TOE.

    SOLUTION:

    W1 = 23.54(0.5)(52)(5.2)(1)W3 = 23.54(0.5)(26)(52)(1)

    W1 = 3182.608 kNW3 = 15913.04 kN

    W2 = 23.54(7)(52)(1)W4 = 9.81(0.5)(50)(5)(1)

    W2 = 8568.56 kNW4 = 1226.25 kN

    U = (γh)(L)F = γhA

    U = [(9.81)(50)](23.2)F = 9.81(25)(50)(1)

    U = 5689.8 kNF = 12262.5 kN

    ∑FV = 0 ; ∑FH = 0

    Ry = W1 + W2 + W3 + W4 − URx = F
    Ry = 3182.608 + 8568.56 + 15913.04 + 1226.25 − 5689.8Rx = 12262.5 kN
    Ry = 23200.658 kN
    RIGHTING MOMENT:

    RM = W1 (7 + 26 + ) + W2(26 + 3.5) + W3 ( ) + W4 (26 + 7 + )

    WEIGHS 23.5 KN PER cu.m. THE COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE BASE AND
    THE FOUNDATION IS 0.80. HYDROSTATIC UPLIFT VARIES FROM FULL AT THE HEEL
    TO ZERO AT THE TOE.
