FRL - + 212 m
No tail water
Upstream face is vertical
Downstream face is vertical till a R.L of + 205 m, after which it has a slope of 0.7 H:1 V up to the base
Drain holes are located at a distance of 7 m from the heel
Unit weight of dam material as 24 kN/m2
Calculate the forces acting and moment about the toe due to self weight and uplift indicating their nature. Indicate the line of action of the forces on the figure
