Problem 6 From the soil profile shown, 4.6 m Ground water table Clay e = 0.9 3.6m Gs = 2.75 1. Compute the effective stress at the bottom of the clay. 2. If the water table rises to the top of the ground surface, what is the change in the effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer? 3. How many meters must the ground water table rise to decrease the effective stress by 14.4 kPa at the bottom of the clay? Ground surface Dry Sand e = 0.49 Gs = 2.68

Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.
