Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
The maximum stress under empty reservoir condition occurs at heel of base because in empty reservoir condition resultant force shift towards heel of base and increases uplift at heel.
Uplift pressure or stress at the base of dam is given by: \(\sigma_{max} =\sum \frac{w}{b}\left ( 1+\frac{6e}{b} \right ) \) , Uplift pressure distribution below gravity dam is shown below:
