Question

A soil profile is shown in Figure Q2 (a). Calculate the total stress, pore water
pressure and effective stress at points A, B, C and D. Hence, plot the variations of the
stresses with depth. Given:

H₁ = 4.7 m H₂ = 6.4 m H₃ = 3.8 m
e= 0.55 Ysat= 19.1kN/m3 w= 24%
Gs = 2.61 e= 0.64

HI =4.7 m
e = 0.55
Gs = 2.61
H2 = 6.4 m
Ysa= 19.1kN/m³
H3 =3.8 m
w = 24%
e = 0.64
