2 m Silt 6 m 3 m Clay A 5 m 2 m Sand under artesian pressure Bedrock Soil profile is given in Figure. The ground water level is 2 m below the ground surface. The sand layer below the clay is under artesian pressure. For the silt layer: the soil density is 1.7 g/cm. For the clay layer: water content is 45%, specific gravity is 2.65. Calculate the effective vertical stress at Point A. Provide your answer in kN/m. 2 m Silt 6 m 3 m Clay A 5 m 2 m Sand under artesian pressure Bedrock Soil profile is given in Figure.
