E-Learning Assignment Part 2 (REG NO. 31-39)

1. Explain what is wrong with the design.
From the picture , i can see that the water dam is too close to the village . This is very bad because if it were to collapse,
the water collected from the dam would travel towards the village. This means that village would be destroyed. The dam has a high
tendency to collapse due to the high amount of water it holds. It should contain lesser water and have a bigger and strong column.

2. Why the crack appeared at the location and not anywhere above?
The cracks appear at the bottom due to the pressure . It has to support the water it contains. Over a long period of time , it
would no longer be able to bear the pressure and give way. Thus , cracks form .

3. Offer a better design with explanations.

















The pictures show almost the same design . However , the base of the dam is bigger, wider and stronger. The dam also contain less water.
Hopefully, the dam can hold the water and not have any cracks.
