Question:
Assume the soil of Fig. 7.10 has a saturated density of 1.89 Mg/m3. If the head of water h above elevation B is 2.45 m, compute the effective stress at elevation A at the bottom of the soil sample during flow. What is the effective stress under these conditions at mid height in the soil column during steady-state flow?
