Gravity dams depend on their mass for stability. Gravity dams can fail by sliding or by tipping over, that is, by rotation about the toe if lateral pressures on the upstream face become excessive. The probability of either type of failure is increased by uplift pressures on the bottom of the dam, especially near the upstream face. In order to design a safe dam, therefore, uplift pressures must be known. What is the uplift pressure at point A?
