![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](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8650cf2f-b6b5-463e-ad3b-88236e13c335%2Fff83bd80-27b7-496d-acaf-af01ea9050a1%2Fq74wv7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
