A subsurface profile for your site is shown in Figure 1. To aid your supervisor, generate
and plot profiles of total vertical stress, vertical and at-rest horizontal effective stress, and
pore water pressure with depth. You may assume the soil is fully saturated and use the Jaky
(1948) correlation for the at rest lateral earth pressure coefficient, K0=1-sin'
