RCC Dam Stability Analysis Report

This document summarizes the stability analysis of a non-overflow concrete dam. It provides basic data about the dam including its height, slopes, material properties, and water levels. It then describes two load combinations analyzed: 1) empty reservoir and 2) full reservoir at normal operating level. For each case it calculates the total forces and moments to determine the stresses on the upstream and downstream sides and check if they are below the allowable stress for the concrete material. The analysis found the stresses were below the allowable limit for both load combinations.
