About this document

Dam Pressure Calculation and Forces by JUAN DAVID MAYA ZAMORA is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes a dam with a parabolic cross-sectional shape that is subjected to horizontal and vertical forces from water. It provides: 1) The dam has a parabolic shape defined by an equation, with a width of 50 ft. 2) The horizontal force FH and its line of action are calculated using equations for the vertical projection of the parabola. 3) The vertical force FV is calculated as the weight of water above the parabolic cross-section, acting through the centroid.
