Question

From the given soil formation of the soil with the following properties is shown in the figure.

(see picture below)

Compute the total stress at the mid-layer of the clay. (Answer: )
Compute the effective stress at the mid layer of the clay.
If a load of 1800 kN is acting on the footing 2m x 2m is placed on the ground, find the stress increase at the mid layer of the clay assuming a stress distribution of 1 horizontal to 2 vertical.

*unit weight of dry sand = 14.72 kN/m3*
