Uplift Pressure

Calculates the bilinear uplift pressure distribution beneath a concrete gravity dam using the simplified method from USACE EM 1110-2-2200. Computes pressures at the upstream face, drainage gallery, and downstream face, then integrates the trapezoidal distribution to obtain total uplift force per unit length for sliding and overturning stability checks.
