1. For the concrete dam shown subjected to water pressure in
Figure P7–27, determine the principal stresses. Let E = 3:5
10

psi and n = 0:15. Assume plane strain conditions. Perform the analysis for
self-weight and then for hydrostatic (water) pressure against the dam vertical
face as shown.
2. Determine the stresses in the wrench shown in Figure
P7–28 on the next page. Let E = 200 GPa and n = 0:25, and assume uniform
thickness t = 10 mm.
