Calculate stress and pore water pressure and determine the total and effective vertical stresses acting at the Bottom of the clay layer for 3 m layer of sand with saturated unit weight 18 kN/m3, overlies a 4 m layer of clay, of saturated unit weight 20 kN/m3. determine the total and effective vertical stresses acting at the centre and bottom of the clay layer. Groundwater level occurs within the sand at 2 m below the ground surface. (The sand above groundwater level may be assumed to be saturated). Consider the unit weight of the sand above GWL as 16 kN/m3.
