Example (6-3): For the site shown in Figure below (the same site as in Example 6-2), water table elevation was at -7 m originally, and lowered 6 m to -13 m due to heavy industrial water use. Calculate the change of the effective overburden stress at Point A. What is a consequence of the lowering water table elevation?
