Stability Of Foundation Against Shear :

H = Height of bund = 6.25 m

U/s Slope = 2 :1
The horizontal shear 'P' is given by
2 2 2
P = h1 - h2 gm tan (45-Φ/2)
2

Tan Φ1 = gm h1 tan Φ + c
gm h1
where ' Φ and c ' are the shear parameters for the foundation material
mean unit weight of the dam and foundation
Φ =
weighed in proportion to the depth of each
Φ = 12 °
2
c = 3100 Kg/m
gm = gD (h1-h2) + g F h2
h1
where gD = Average unit weight of dam material
3
= 2070 Kg/m
gF = Unit weight of foundation material
3
= 1830 Kg/m
h = 3.75 m
h1 = 6.25 m
h2 = 2m

gm = 2070 ( 6.25 - 2 ) + 1830 * 2

6.25
3
= 1993.2 Kg/m
say 1993 Kg/m3
Tan Φ1 = 1993 ( 6.25 ) tan 12 + 3100
1993 * 6.25
Tan Φ1 = 0.461533
Φ1 = 24.77

say 13.33
P = ( 6.25^2 - 2 ^ 2) * 1993 * tan ^2 ( 45 - 13.33/ 2 )
2
= 27659.75 Kg
= 5.22E+05 Kg
b = 12.5 m
Average unit shear = Sav = P/b
= 2213 Kg/m3

Maximum unit shear = Smax = 2 * Sav = 4426

which occurs at 0.4 *b = 0.4 *12.5 = 5.000 From point 'c'
s1 = unit shear strength below toe ( at "A")
= c + gF h2 tan Φ
= 3100+ ( 1830 * 2 * tan 12)
2
= 3878.265 Kg/m

s2 = unit shear strength at point "C"

= c + gm h1 tan Φ
= 3100+ ( 1993 * 6.25 * tan 12)
2
5748.706 Kg/m
=

Average shear strength = 3878.265 + 5748.706/ 2

2
s = 4813.486 Kg/m

Overall factor of safety against shear = = s / sav

= 4813.4855/2213
= 2.175095 > 1.5
Safe
Factor of safety at maximum shear =
s = unit shear strength at point of maximum shear (point B)
= c + gav h tan Φ
= 3100+ ( 1986.522 * 3.75 * tan 12)
4684.058
gav = mean effective unit weight at 'B'
= gD h + g F h2
h + h2

= 2070 * 3.75 + ( 1830 * 2)

3.75 + 2
3
= 1986.522 kg/m

Factor of safety = s / smax

= 4684.058 / 4426
= 1.058305 > 1
Safe
