Check for Stability Assignment Help

Assignment Help: >> Design the section of a trapezoidal masonry dam - Check for Stability

Check for Stability:

Assuming coefficient of friction μ = 0.6

W = 345 (a + b) = 345 (17 + 5.2) = 7659 kN

∴          μ W = 0.6 × 7659 = 4595.4 kN

P = 4205 kN/m2

∴ Factor of safety against sliding

= 4595.4/4205 = 1.09 > 1

and factor of safety against overturning

= W (e + b/2)/ P ⋅ h/3  = 7659 (0.143 + 0.5) × 17/(4205 × 29/3)  = 2.06 > 1 ∴            OK.
