Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. A soil profile is shown in Figure 1. Assuming the water table is
located at the surface and the profile is undisturbed. Show the
variation of total vertical and horizontal stresses with the depth to
a total depth of 12m. Assume there is a surcharge of 6kN/m2 and
Groundwater is 5m below the surface.
5m
Sandy clay c=25KN/m², þ=10°, y=18KN/m³
7.5m
Silt c=10KN/m², p=15°, y=20kN/m³
Sand =35°, y=19KN/m³
