Question

A concrete dam of mass density 2,400 kg/m³ with dimensions a = 12 m, b = 7 m and c = 6 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 Ry act to ensure the dam remains in static equilibrium? a b c C 18 m 15 m concrete dam A B Reactions: Rx = Number Units (tolerance 5 kN) Ry = Number Units (tolerance 5 kN) Distance from Point A to the vertical support reaction Ry: Xbar = Number Units (tolerance 0.1 m)
