P5 3B Gutierrez JohnPaul

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.

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.

2. A DAM IS TRIANGULAR IN CROSS SECTION WITH THE UPSTREAM VERTICAL. WATER


IS FLUSH AT THE TOP. THE DAM IS 8 m HIGH AND 6 m WIDE AT THE BOTTOM, AND
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.
