1 (a) Find below certain numbers (i.e. -200 kPa, -150 kPa, -100 kPa and -50 kPa) shown in a compacted homogenous earth dam under construction with a fine-grained soil at different elevations. These numbers likely represent the following: 200 50 100 150 (1) Negative pore-water water pressures (ii) Negative pore-air pressures (iii) (iv) Matric suction (v) Osmotic suction Provide justification to the answer you have chosen in your own words. Can be both pore-water and pore-air pressure values -Rock fill
