- In excavation for a wall footing, the water table level was lowered from a depth of 1.0 m to a depth of 3.0 m in a clayey soil deposit. Considering that the soil has a water content of 28% when it is fully saturated, and above the water table the (dry) unit weight of the soil is 17 kN/m³. Assuming initially that all of the soil above the water table is dry, then compute the following: 1. The effective stress at a depth of 4.0 m after the lowering of the water table. Take Gs = 2.68. (Hints: w*Gs=Sr*e) 2. The increase in effective stress at a depth of 5 m. (You also need to plot the values of total vertical stress and effective vertical stress against depth before and after lowering the water table.)arrow_forwardCalculate the collapse load (P) for the two fixed ended beam shown below.
