Instruction: Answer the following problem sets below. Show your solution and box your final answer.
1. A concrete dam has the profile shown in the figure. If the density of concrete is 2400 kg/m 3 and that of
water is 1000 kg/m3, determine the maximum compressive stress at section m-n if the depth of the water
behind the dam is h = 15 m.

2. A concrete dam having water on vertical face is 16m high. The base of the dam is 8m wide and top 3m
wide. Find the resultant thrust on the base per meter length of the dam and the point of where it intersects
the base, where it contains water 16m deep. Take weight of the concrete as 23 KN/m3 and 9.81 KN/m3 for
water.
