A strip footing 2.9 m wide carries a uniform pressure of 289 kN/m² on the surface of a sand deposit. The water table is at the surface, and saturated unit weight of sand of 17.8 kN/m³. Determine effective vertical stresses (kPa) at a point 3.1 m below the centre of the footing after the application of the pressure. (2 d.p). Use unit weight of water 9.8 kN/m³
