A soil profile consisting of three layers is shown. Plot the variation of effective stress with depth. The layer properties are tabulated below. Final calculated answer should be in 3 decimal places.
The figure below shows the soil profile at a construction project site. A soil sample was obtained from location B (depth = 19.0m). A consolidation test was performed on the soil sample. The idealized e-log o' plot from the consolidation test is shown on the right-hand side. The current vertical effective stress, o' z0 =198kPa.
