1.	A concrete gravity dam having a maximum reservoir level at 200 m and the RL of the bottom of the dam 100 m. The maximum allowable compressive stress in concrete is 3000 KN/m² and the specific gravity of concrete is 2.4. Calculate the height of the dam and check whether it is a high dam or low dam.
A.	H = 90 m High gravity dam
B.	H = 90 m Low gravity dam
C.	H = 214.2 m High gravity dam
D.	H = 214.2 m Low gravity dam
Answer» B. H = 90 m Low gravity dam
