Why do dams have broad base?
  • 1 answers

Sonam Singh 7 years, 7 months ago

The reason is that the pressure exerted by a liquid increases with its depth. Thus, as the depth increases, more and more pressure is exerted by water on the wall of the dam. A thicker wall is required to withstand greater pressure, therefore the thickness of the dam increase towards the bottom.
