Question

Base of Dams are wider than that of the top due to which of the following reasons?
a. It’s for aesthetic reasons
b. Fluid pressure is directly proportional to the height of the water column c. because the density of water is more at the bottom
d. All the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Seepage flow through the embankment is controlled so that the amount lost does not interfere with the objective of the dam and there is no erosion or sloughing of soil. In this respect, seepage line should remain well within the downstream face of the dam and the portion of the dam on downstream side of the impervious core should be well drained.

3. Uplift pressure due to the seepage underneath is not enough to cause piping
