Question

Civil Engineering

  1. The cross section of a non- overflow gravity dam is as givenbelow:

Topwidth                  -    12 m

R.L of top ofdam       -    + 215m

R.L of bottom of dam-    + 104 m

FRL                           -    + 212 m

No tail water

Upstream face is vertical

Downstream face is vertical till a R.Lof + 205 m, after which it has a slope of 0.7 H:1 V up to thebase

Drain holes are located at a distanceof 7 m from the heel

Unit weight of dam material as 24kN/m2

Calculate the forces acting and momentabout the toe due to self weight and uplift indicating theirnature. Indicate the line of action of the forces on the figure
