Question

A dam has a cross sectional profile with its water face made up of two inclined slopes as shown in Figure A.2. Thedepth of the water is 11 m, and the span of the dam is 100 m. (i)Draw a fully annotated schematic of the front and side views of the dam showing all the relevant depth sand hydrostatic forces. (ii)Horizontal force component acting on the dam. (iii)Depth from water free surface where the horizontal force component acts on the dam. (iv)Vertical force component acting on the dam. (v)Resultant force acting on the dam and angle from the horizon at which the resultant force acts.
