Correct option is (a) 2.5 to 3

The explanation is: Massiveness factor and slenderness ratio both controls the height, thickness and the spacing of the buttress. The suggested slenderness ratio usually ranges from 12 to 15 and the massiveness factor varies from 2.5 to 3.

The buttresses of a free deck buttress dam are provided at ‘x’ m clear spacing and buttress thickness is proposed to be ‘t’ m. The buttress section can then be designed like the section of a concrete gravity dam by considering the effective unit weight of water = Surcharge factor (S) x actual unit weight of water. The value of this surcharge factor is given as _____________
