Given 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. The "free ground water" level is 8 meters below the ground surface, the ys =26.5 kN/m², and the soil between the ground surface and the capillary level is partially saturated to 50%. Find: 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? Use Terzaghi and Peck 1967 formula for capillary rise with C = 0.0303 m? Dense silt y3 m Clay
