Question

Q69. The forces, which are considered for the analysis of an elementary profile of a gravity dam under
empty reservoir condition, are:
( Water pressure
(ii) Self weight
(iii) Uplift
(iv) Pressure due to earthquake
the correct answer is;
(a) Only (1)
(b) (). (ii) and (iii)
(c) (). (ii) and (iv)
(d) (i). (i). (ii) and (iv)​

Answer 1

Answer:

d. is the correct answer for Q69

Answer 2

(ii) Self weight is the right answer.

• The force which are considered for the analysis of an elementary profile of a gravity dam under empty reservoir condition is self weight.

• "Self-weight is defined as the load on a structure imposed by its own weight".

• Self-weight is usually dependent on the material density of the structure directly.

• If by default, self-weight is turned off and needs to be enabled, then it should be modelled.

• The self-weight generally depends on:

1) the material

2) the section of each member

Hence, (ii) Self weight is the correct answer.
