What is the minimum width "B" for the base of a dam 30m high if upward pressure beneath the dam is assumed uniformly from full hydrostatic head at the heel to zero at the toes, and assuming floating logs causing a thrust of 3700 kg/m of dam at the top? For this problem, make the resultant of the reacting force cut the base at the downstream edge of the middle third of the base at O and take the weight of the concrete as 2.5Y. 30 m 3,700 kg/m -6m 4 O
