Question

How should the groundwater table move to have an effective stress of 95kPA, 2m from the bottom of the profile? For specific gravity, Gs = 2.68.

Transcribed Image Text:1. Determine the total stress, porewater pressure, and effective stresses at the top and bottom, at each interface between soil layers, at 2.5m from the bottom of the profile. 1 mt 4 m 3 m 4 m Clay: sat Clay: w 19.6%, S = 60% Clay: w= 40% Sand: sat = 18.8 kN/m³ 16.8 kN/m³ Bedrock
