Figure Q1(b) below shows a soil profile. Points A, B, C, D & E are respectively 0.0, 1.5, 3.2, 6.5 and 10.0 m below the ground. As indicated, the water table is located 1.5m below the ground surface. The densities of the soils are also given in the figure.

(i)
Calculate the vertical total stress (σv), pore water pressure (u) and vertical effective stress (σv’) at points: A, B, C, D & E.

(ii)
Draw a sketch of the variation of stresses (total stress (σv), pore water pressure (u) and vertical effective stress (σv’) with the depth of the soil profile.
