- A large sized excavation is made in a stiff clay whose saturated unit weight is 17.27 kN/m3. When the depth of excavation reaches 7.5m, cracks appear and water begins to flow upward to bring up sand to the surface. Subsequent borings indicate that the clay is underlain by sand at a depth of 11m below the original ground surface.
