Transcribed Image Text:comprises 2 m of sand overlying 10m of clay. The The soil profile at the bottom of the valley clay layer itself is resting on highly permeable weathered sandstone. The unit weight of sand above the water table, which is 1m below the ground level is 16 kN/m3 and below the water table, it is 20 kN/m3. The saturated unit weight of clay is 22 kN/m3. If the water table in the sandstone layer is under artesian condition, corres- ponding to a stand pipe level at 5m above the ground, plot the variation of:- (i) total stress (ii) pore water pressure, and (iji) effective stress, with depth
