Extracted text: A concrete, gravity dam has the following cross section properties as given in the figure below. The uplift pressure at the base of the dam varies linearly from 60% hydrostatic pressure at heel to zero at toe. Specific gravity of concrete is 2.4 a. Calculate the factor of safety against sliding. Use u = 0.6. b. Calculate the factor of safety against overturning. c. Solve for the location of the resultant force from the toe d. Calculate the maximum soil pressure developed at the base of the dam. e. Calculate the minimum soil pressure developed at the base of the dam. 2.6 m 8. 21.6 m 18.6 m 12 m
