- 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-Â Â Â + 104 m
FRLÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â -Â Â Â + 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
