Question

Determine the distribution of the total and effective vertical stress with depth for the soil profile shown.

Transcribed Image Text:Question 2 G, +S,e a) Starting from the basic phase definitions (see the Appendix) show that y = 1+e b) Using the expression above, determine the distribution of the total and effective vertical stress with depth for the soil profile shown. Plot these distributions for 0sz<12m.Yw = 9.81 kN/m³ Sand G, = 2.65; e=0.6 4.0 m 2.0 m W.T. 4.0 m Clay G, = 2.8; e=0.8 2.0 m Silt Y =18 kN / m²
