The first layer 2m thick very fine wet sand with silt having water content of 8% and S=45% lying in 3.4m thick of fine sand with a moisture content of 14% and below of this fine sand is a clay with water content of 28% and a thickness of 15m.The water table is located 3m below the ground and they found out that there is a 1m of capillary rise that's being fully saturated. Find the unit weight of the first layer if all soils have 2.8 specific gravity.
The stresses induced by a surface load on a loose horizontal sand (ɸ = 30o) layer were found to be σv = 6.0 kPa, τv = 1.6 kPa, σh = 3.7 kPa, and τh = -1.6 kPa. By means of Mohr circles, determine if such a state of stress is safe. If so, what is the factor of safety? Use FS = τff(available) / τf(applied) for the definition of factor of safety.
