Problem Ex. Consider the upward flow of water through a layer of sand in a tank as shown in Figure. 1.5 m 0.7 m 2 m Valve (open) Inflow Sand For the sand, the following are given: void ratio (e) = 0.52 and specific gravity of solids (G,) = 2.67. Calculate the total stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress at points A and B. What is the upward seepage force per unit volume of soil? Total stress, porewater pressure, effective stress.
