A stratified soil is to be analyzed for stresses. The stratified soil is composed of sand, silt, clay and gravel. The 2.80-m thick gravel underlays the 3.60-m thick clay while the 4.0-m thick sand which overlays the 3.0-m thick silt is overlain by the gravel. Ground water table is at a depth of 8.0-m from the surface of the stratified soil. Soils above GWT are dry. Use the given soil properties below, draw the complete soil profile and perform the following requirements: For sand: Yd = 16.35 kN/m³, Ysat = 19.62 kN/m³ For silt: Yd = 19.35 kN/m³, Ysat = 22.22 kN/m³ For clay: Yd = 17.35 kN/m³, Ysat = 20.82 kN/m³ For gravel: Yd = 18.35 kN/m³, Ysat = 21.52 kN/m³ Note for 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d that there is no capillary rise in the soils.
