Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.

Question

2.1.Q.1: Determine the total vertical stress, pore water pressure, and the effective stress of
the soil mass at the Centre of the clay layer and at the Centre of the sand layer for the
conditions stated below when an embankment is to be constructed from a fill on ground
surface. For more details, please find excel sheet
Note: Clay layer follows sand layer
a) Before the construction of the embankment.
b) Immediately after the construction of the embankment.
c) When ground water table lies at surface of ground level and below the foundation
and discuss the change in the stresses values if any.
Given data:
Depth of Clay layer= 5
Depth of Sand layer= 5
Saturated unit weight of clay kN/m³ = 17
Saturated unit weight of sand kN/m³ = 18
Height of Embankment= 4
Unit weight of Embankment kN/m³= 17

The length of the levee perpendicular to the paper is 600 m; the sand on top and bottom have k1=750 ft/day and k2= 40 in/s respectively. The thickness of sands is equal, m = 670 m, n=575 ft, B = 8ft, C = 525 ft. Determine the amount of water flowing to the ditch in in3/min. (See picture below)
A dam includes a sheet pile "cut off" wall near the toe, installed to 7 ft below the groundline. Water seepage is assumed to be at steady state at this time step shown. At this time, the depth of the upstream pond (headwater) is 5 feet. The groundwater is at the same level as the ground on the downstream/tailwater side. The sand stratum thickness, where water is flowing, is 9 ft thick. The permeability of the sand, in the zone of the flow net, is k=42ft/day, the length of the dam (into the page) is 150 ft, and the unit weight of the sand is γsat=128 lb/ft3 (saturated unit weight of the soil). Use γw=62.4 pcf (unit weight of water) for your calculations, where necessary.What is the factor of safety against a quick condition?
