Question 2
What is the maximum vertical stress(N/m^2) acting on a dam If sum of the net vertical force per unit length is 10500N/m Width of the dam is 60m, eccentricity is 15m.
Question 3
A drop spillway is subjected to horizontal and vertical forces of 40.8 kN and 36.5 kN respectively. The area of plane of sliding is 10m2. Angle friction and cohesive resistance of foundation material are 25 ° and 4.9 kPa respectively. The factor of safety against sliding is? Assume tan 25°= 0.47
Question 4
