A sediment settling lagoon has a depth of water of 4 m above the clay base. The clay layer is 3 m thick and this overlies 4 m of medium sand, which in turn overlies impermeable rock. Given the unit weight of clay, medium sand and sediment of silty fine sand is 18 kN/m², 20 kN/m³ and 16 kN/m², respectively. Calculate the effective stress at the top of the clay and at the top and bottom of the second layer under the following condition; i) initial, before any sediment is deposited. ii) After a 2m layer of sediment of silty fine sand has been deposited. iii) After draining the lagoon down to base level, with the same thickness (2m) of sediment still in place

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
