Considering figure 64, the shear stress parallel to CB, on plane BCO, is

CBD = TzXD COS Bo - TZYD Sin Bo

Considering figure 65, the shear stress parallel to AD is the resultant shear stress on ADO because the shear stress perpendicular to it is zero.

Positive angles are measured clockwise from the Z' axis on the left part of the dam and counterclockwise on the right part of the dam, looking upstream.

The two values of opp given by equation 241 and the normal pressure Po are the three principal stresses at the face of the dam. The maximum shear stress acts on a plane that bisects the angle between the largest and the smallest of the principal stresses. It is equal to half the difference between the principal stresses.

A summary of stresses calculated at the downstream face of the dam, with symbols and equation numbers, is tabulated below.

If the extrados and intrados curves are concentric circular arches, the angle ' becomes D and equation 238 gives the cantilever stress parallel to the downstream face.

STRESSES ON HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL PLANES

184. Procedure. After stresses have been evaluated for the faces of a dam, equations may be derived for stresses on horizontal planes and vertical radial and tangential planes at any interior point in the dam. Since horizontal arch stresses vertical cantilever stresses oz, and tangential cantilever shear stresses 7zx, are assumed to have a linear variation from the upstream face to the downstream face, equations can be derived for radial cantilever shear stresses τzy, radial arch shear stresses TMxy, and radial stresses normal to the vertical tangential planes σy. Since TXY equals Tуx, Txz equals тzx, and Tyz equals Tzy; it is evident that the six stresses, ox, σy, σz, txy, тxz, and τyz, determine all stresses acting on three mutually perpendicular planes. These planes are a vertical radial plane YZ, a vertical tangential plane XZ, and a horizontal plane XY.
