Question: elevant information for different soil layers are given below: Soil Layer Thickness ( m ) Fine sand X = 2 . 4 9 Clay Y

elevant information for different soil layers are given below:
Soil Layer Thickness (m)
Fine sand X =2.49
Clay Y =2.37
Coarse sand Z =6.43
The depth of the water table, Dw =1.26 m.
A foundation load causes a stress increase of 55.25 kPa at a depth of 1.84 m.
What is the change in vertical effective stress (in kPa) at a depth of 1.84 m immediately after the application of the foundation loading?
