Consider the geotechnical profile shown in the Figure, which was obtained from a
(a) Determine the total, neutral, and effective stresses for the earth mass and then plot the stresses across the depth of the ground.
(b) What would be the effective stresses at the intersection between the clay and gravel layers if the water levels were pumped down to the elevations located at points A and B?
