    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Almayali
    This document provides instructions for a soil mechanics problem involving a soil profile with multiple layers. Students are asked to draw an effective stress diagram and calculate total, pore water, and effective stresses at the middle of each layer using given properties like saturated unit weight, dry unit weight, void ratio, and thickness. The profile includes 5 layers with varying saturated unit weights, dry unit weights, void ratios, and thicknesses down to a depth of 13 meters.

    Q1: For the soil profile shown in the figure (1):

    1- Draw vertical effective stress diagram


    2- Find the total, pore water pressure and effective stresses at the middle of each layer

    N.G.S
    γd=14.1 kN/m3 2m

    e=0.54 Gs=2.75 2m

    4m

    γsat=12.4 kN/m3 1.5m

    γsat=18.6 kN/m3 3.5m
