A 12 m thick soil profile consists of 7 m sand and 5 m clay. The water table depth is 2 m from surface. The porosity and solid density for sand and saturated density for clay are shown below. With these, please answer followings: A. Compute and plot profiles of vertical total stress (6), pore pressure (u), and vertical effective stress (6"). B. Suppose that the ground is fully submerged because of flood and the water table is now 1 m above the surface. With this condition, compute and plot profiles of o, u, and o'. 2 m Ps = 2.7 mg/m3, n = 0.5 Dry Sand 5 m Sand 5 m Psat = 2.0 Mg/m3 Clay Rock (Impermeable)
