The soil profile at a site up to a depth of 10m is shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The soil is preloaded with a uniform surcharge (q) of 70 kN/m2 at the ground level. The water table is at a depth of 3 m below ground level. The soil unit weight of the respective layers is shown in the figure. Consider unit weight of water as 9.81 kN/ m3 and assume that the surcharge (q) is applied instaneously. q = 70 kN/m?
