Question: A soil profile consists of a surface layer 2 . 7 6 m thick of gravel with saturated unit weight of 1 9 . 9

A soil profile consists of a surface layer 2.76m thick of gravel with saturated unit weight of 19.9kNm3, and bulk unit weight of 15.9kNm3. Followed by a 4.73m of clay layer with saturated unit weight of 18.7kNm3, overlying a base of impermeable rock. The water table is 0.8m below the ground surface. Compute the effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer in kPa. (2dp). Use unit weight of water of 9.8kNm3
