TASK # $1$

A soil profile is shown below. Calcualte the values of total stress, pore water pressure and

effective stress at points A$,$ B$,$ C and D$.$

Plot the variation of these stresses with depth.

What is the effective stress at point $C$ if the water table drops by $2m?$

What is the effective stress at point $C$ if the water table rises to the surface up to point $A?$

What is the effective stress at point $C$ if the water level rises $3m$ above point A due to flooding?
