Question: A soil with a groundwater table 1 0 ft below the surface and with a coefficient of lateral earth pressure ( K o ) of

A soil with a groundwater table 10 ft below the surface and with a coefficient of lateral earth pressure (Ko) of 0.45 was profiled in the table below. Find the total vertical stress, total horizontal stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress at each soil layer boundary. Graph these values vs. depth. Please show all equations used for calculations and the graph. (*Hint: h=h'+U and Ko=h'v')
