4.2.6 Gravity (concrete) dam analysis, stability (overturning, sliding), stress and material failure
A concrete gravity dam of given profile is purposed by a designer for implementation. The unit shear resistance and angle of resistance is 500 KN/m² and 35° respectively. γcon=24 KN/m³, check the stability of dam against flotation, overturning and sliding. [8]
