Stability Analysis of Concrete Dam

This document analyzes the stability of a concrete dam under different load combinations: 1. Load combination B calculates a factor of safety against sliding of 2.04. 2. Load combination C calculates stresses at the upstream and downstream faces of 18.051 t/sq.m and 53.297 t/sq.m respectively, with a factor of safety against sliding of 1.93. 3. Load combination D considers an earthquake force and calculates a total additional moment of 2211.1 t/m from the horizontal seismic force and 3.779 t/m·m from the vertical seismic force.

u= Total uplift force = 390.75 t/m
tan ø = Coefficient of internal friction of the material 0.7813
C= Cohesion at contact between rock and concrete 105

Fø= partial factor of safety in respect of friction 1.5
Fc= partial factor of safety in respect of cohesion 3.6
P= Total horizontal force 740.1

For load combination B, take Fø = 1.5 and Fc = 3.6
