A concrete dam holds 10 m of static water as shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The uplift assumed to vary linearly from full hydrostatic head at the heel, to zero at the toe of dam. The coefficient of friction between the dam and foundation soil is 0.45. Specific weights of concrete and water are 24 and 9.81 , respectively. For NO sliding condition, the required minimum base width B (in m, round off to two decimal places) is __________.
A concrete gravity dam section is shown in the figure. Assuming unit weight of water as and unit weight of concrete as , the uplift force per unit length of the dam (expressed in kN/m) at PQ is ____________.
