A concrete gravity dam has a maximum reservoir level at 200 m and the Reduced Level (RL) of the base of the dam is 100 m. The maximum allowable compressive stress in concrete is 3000 kN/m2 and the specific gravity of concrete is 2.4. Calculate the limiting height of the dam and classify whether it is a high dam or a low dam.
