(Use The Figure (10.20) to find the solution of this question) Iwo embankments loads on silty clay soils layers as shown below. Unit weights of the left and right embankments are 11 and 13 kN/m, respectively. Determine the stress increase under the embankments at point A that are loaded at a depth of 4 m below the ground surface. 1V:1H y=11 kN/m 5m Ane Figure 10.19 Embankment loading Figure 10.20 Osterberg's chart for determination of vertical stress due to embank- ment loading 0.50 0.45 0.40 0.35 0.30 0.25 0.20 0.15 0.10 0.05 0.00 0.01 IV:1H 0.1 3.0 20 1.6 14 12 1.0 09 08 07 0.6 0.5 0,3 0.2 H 0.1 3m 8/-0 Center line 4-yl Bylt 13 kN/m Geg 2014 LLLL TIT 1.0 HEAT 10.0 Organg 24 327
