The first layer 2m thick very fine wet sand with silt having water content of 8% and S=45% lying in 3.4m thick of fine sand with a moisture content of 14% and below of this fine sand is a clay with water content of 28% and a thickness of 15m.The water table is located 3m below the ground and they found out that there is a 1m of capillary rise that's being fully saturated. Find the unit weight of the first layer if all soils have 2.8 specific gravity.
