17. Refer to the soil profile shown. Given H1 = 9.29 m., and H2 = 5.67 m. If the ground water table rises by 3.49 meters, determine the change in effective stress (numerical value only, in kPa) at the bottom of the clay layer. Properties of dry sand: Gs = 2.53, e = 0.60. Properties of clay: Gs = 2.79, e = 0.84. Round off to two decimal places.
