Question

A concrete dam of mass density 2,400 kg/m³ with dimensions a = 9 m, b = 8 m and c = 7 m, is subject to a hydrostatic fluid pressure on its right hand face. If the density of water is 1,000 kg/m³ and the dam is very long out of plane, determine:

• The horizontal and vertical support reactions exerted by the ground on the base AB of the dam.
• Assuming that the dam rotates about the bottom left corner (Point A), how far away from Point A must the vertical support reaction R_y act to ensure the dam remains in static equilibrium?
•
