💧 How a Dam Works: Hydrostatic Thrust, Overturning, Spillway and Turbine Power Lab

A 3D concrete gravity or arch dam in a valley with a cutaway power station: water thrust, uplift, sliding and overturning safety factors, arch hoop stress, gated spillway discharge, Francis turbine power and flood routing of the reservoir. Compare the minimum base width and the optimum arch angle with closed-form results.
