Another method of determining the capillary rise in a soil is to use Hazen's capillary formula. The 3 m thick dense silt layer shown below is the top stratum of a construction site, has an effective diameter of 0.01 mm. What is the approximate height of the capillary rise in that silt stratum? What are the vertical effective stresses at depths of 3 m and 8 m below the surface? The "free ground water" level is 8 meters below the ground surface, the y's=26.5 kN/m³, and the soil between the ground surface and the capillary level is partially saturated to 50%. Dense silt
