Kenyir Lake deepest part is approximately 230m deep during the winter period and 212m during summer period. The loch bed consists of a saturated silty sand (saturated unit weight of 18.8kN/m²) for 5.8m followed by a sand (saturated unit weight of 21kN/m²) for 12m. Determine and plot the effective and total vertical stresses, and the pore water pressure at the loch bed level, 5.8m below loch bed level and 17.8m below loch bed level during the winter and summer periods.
