1. At what depth would the total vertical stress in a deposit of clay (e = 0.9, Gs = assume, consider 4 significant figures) overlain by 3 meters of sand (e = 1.1, assume Gs with 4 significant figures) be 220 kPa if the water table is 2 meters below the ground surface and saturation of 20 percent exists above it? What is the effective stress at the same depth? Draw your stress diagrams up until 2 meters deeper than the point at which the stress is 220 kPa.
