-0.3

The base width of an elementary profile of gravity dam of height H is b. The specific gravity of the material of the dam is G and uplift pressure coefficient is K. the correct relationship for no tension at the heel is given by

$$\frac bH\;=\;\frac1{\sqrt{G\;-\;K}}$$

$$\frac bH\;=\;\frac1{G \sqrt{1\;-\;K}}$$

$$\frac bH\;=\;\frac1{G\;-\;K}$$

$$\frac bH\;=\;\frac1{K \sqrt{G\;-\;K}}$$
