Given the soil profile below, first compute the initial effective stress (Hint: compute the total stress and pore-water pressure separately). If a square foundation (20 ft by 20 ft) applies a stress of 1,000 psf, compute the final effective stress under the center and corner of the foundation at a depth of 10 ft below ground surface. The water table is 2 ft below ground surface. B= 20 ft 4 ft Sand = 120 pcf 2 ft 6 ft 12 ft A Clay y= 100 pcf
