1. The concrete dam shown in the Figure weighs 23.6 kN/m² and rests on a solid foundation. Determine the minimum coefficient of friction between the dam and the foundation required to keep the dam from sliding. Base your analysis on a unit length of the dam.
1. A gate, shown in Fig. Q1, is 1.5 m wide, is hinged at point A and rests against a wall at point B. The fluid is water and the free surface is open to the atmosphere. Calculate (G) the force on the gate due to pressure exerted by the water, and (ii) by taking moments about point A, the horizontal force exerted by the wall at point B.

The cross section of a concrete dam is shown in the figure
below. For a 0.3 m wide dam section, determine the result of the
pressure forces exerted by the water on the BC face of the dam. Use
ρ = 10³ kg / m³ for the specific water mass.

Problem 2 The rectangular gate CAB, shown in cross section, is L=1.5 m high and w=2 m wide (into the page). The water has a depth of d=1 m on one side of the gate. The gate is pinned at A and is restrained by a smooth stopper at B that bears horizontally against the lower edge of the plate. The gate has a mass per area of m=27.18 kg/m² (already accounting for the thickness of the gate). Ignoring the...

Q.5) Water backs up behind a concrete dam as shown in Figure below. Leakage under the foundation gives a linear pressure distribution under the base of the concrete dam as shown in Figure. If the water depth H, is too great, the dam will topple over about its toe (Point A). For the dimensions given, determine the maximum water depth. Base your analysis on a unit length of the dam. The specific weight of the concrete is 23.7 kN/m”. (Answer...
