From the given soil profile shown, the ground
surface is subjected to a uniform increase in
vertical pressure AP = 10 T/m2. Dry Unit
weight of sand is 1.77 T/m and a saturated
unit weight of 2.05 T/m3. The 10 m. layer of
sand overlies a 3 m. layer of clay which has a
liquid limit of 40%, a water content of 42% with
a sp.gr. of 2.76. Ground water table is located
4 m. below the ground surface.
