A layer of soil profile in a tank with upward seepage is shown in Figure Q1. Calculate the total stress, pore water pressure and effective stress at points A, B and C. Hence, plot the variations of the stresses with depth. Given: Hị = 3.6 m, H2 = 9.5 m, h = 5.1 m, z = 4.9 m, ysat = 19.8 kN/m². H2 Valve (open) Inflow Figure 01
