A concrete dam retaining water is shown in the figure below. If the specific weight of the concrete is 23.5 KN/m3, Calculate maximum soil pressure produced by the dam in KN/m2. Assume there is a hydrostatic uplift that varies uniformly from full hydrostatic head at the heel to zero at the toe of the dam. Use unit weight of water 9.79 KN/m3. assume X= 4 m 3m T 14 m TIKETREK 3m 7m -15m 8m 12 m 3m B TIKVIK 18 m FIR
