Figure shows a vertical cross section through a typical concrete gravity dam with a cutoff trench.You are asked to determine the flow of water under the dam and to calculate uplift pressure at thebottom of the dam. The solution to both problems will require that you construct a flow net tosimulate flow beneath this dam.1. Construct a flow net on Figure 1 showing groundwater flow under the dam. 2. The dam in Figure 1 is 100 m long (along the axis), and the abutments are in solid bedrock.Aquifer tests have shown the alluvium has a hydraulic conductivity of 4 x 10-5 m/s. The reservoirdepth is maintained constantly at 12 m, with a tailwater pool 2 m deep.How much water is lost under the dam (Q)? 3. Gravity dams depend on their mass for stability. Gravity dams can fail by sliding or by tippingover, that is, by rotation about the toe if lateral pressures on the upstream face become excessive. Theprobability of either type of failure is increased by uplift pressures on the bottom of the…
