Question

limiting height of a low concrete gravity dam constructed in concrete having strength equal to 3000KN/m2 take Sc=2.4

Answer 1

Limiting height of a low concrete gravity dam constructed in concrete having strength equal to 3000KN/m2 take Sc=2.4

Answer 2

Hey dear,

◆ Answer-
Hmax = 89.96 m

◆ Explaination-
# Given-
F = 3000 KN/m^2
Sc = 2.4
γw = 9.81 KN/m^3

# Solution-
Limiting height of dam is calculated by-
Hmax = F / [γw(Sc+1)]
Hmax = 3000 / [9.81(2.4+1)]
Hmax = 3000 / 33.35
Hmax = 89.96 m
Hmax = approx 90 m

Therefore, limiting height of the low concrete gravity dam is 90 m.

Hope it helps...
