Question:

A gravity dam is depicted in Figure P8.3.1. lf a force ratio against sliding of 1.3 is required, is the 33-m-high dam safe? Assume the coefficient of friction between the dam base and the foundation is 0.6, the specific gravity of concrete is 2.5, and fu ll uplift forces exist on the base of the dam. Neglect earthquake and sedimentation forces.
