a. Find the effective stress at a point of 3.65 m below the ground surface if the water table is on the ground surface. The saturated unit weight of soil is 19.63 kN/m3. (Answer: 35.84 kN/m3) b. Find the effective stress at a point 4.2 m below the ground surface if the water table is 1.2 m below the ground surface. The unit weight of soil above the water table is 18.88 kN/m3 and the saturated unit weight of soil below the water table is 20.46 kN/m3. (Answer: 54.61 kN/m3) c. Find the effective stress at a point 1.80 m below the ground surface if the water surface is 0.6 m above the soil surface. The saturated unit weight of soil is 17.31 kN/m3. (Answer: 13.5 kN/m3)
