A soil profile consists of sand (5-m thick) which overlies a layer of clay (4-m thick). Ground water table is located at the interface of the sand and clay. The effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer was determined. If the water table rises to the top of the ground surface, what is the change in the effective stress (in kPa) at the bottom of the clay layer? For sand layer: Void Ratio = 0.82, Specific gravity = 2.75, Degree of Saturation = 0.76 For clay layer: Void Ratio = 1.09, Specific gravity = 2.76

A huge marble boulder on a quarry site sits on the ground. This marble is 10 m by 10 m and has a height of 16 m. The boulder is situated on a 6 m thick soil with e = 0.70, S = 65%, and G, = 2.68, then by a 5 m thick clay with e = 0.80, G, = 2.71 and LL = 48. The water table exists in between the sand-clay interface. The specific gravity of the marble is 2.60. Assuming that the clay is normally consolidated...

Question Assuming that a river bed level does not change and the depth of water in river was 10m, 15m and 8m during the months of February, July and December respectively of a particular year. The average bulk density of the soil is 20kN/mJ³. The density of water is 10kN/m³. The effective stress at a depth of 10m below the river bed during these months would be
Question 20 A soil profile consists of sand (5-m thick) which overlies a layer of clay (9-m thick). Ground water table is located at the interface of the sand and clay. The effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer was determined. If the water table rises to the top of the ground surface, what is the change in the effective stress (in kPa) at the bottom of the clay layer? For sand layer: Void Ratio = 0.82, Specific gravity = 2.68, Degree of Saturation = 0.6 For clay layer: Void Ratio = 0.92, Specific gravity = 2.86 Round off to two decimal places.
