Example 1:
A soil profile is shown in Figure. Calculate the total stress, pore water pressure, and effective
stress at points A, B, and C.

Solution

Soil Mechanics-I
Dr.Mohammed S. Hussain

Example 2:
The water table is located at a depth of 3.0 m below the ground surface in a deposit of sand 11.0
m thick (see Figure). The sand is saturated above the water table. The total unit weight of the sand
is 20 kN/m3. Calculate the (a) the total pressure, (b) the pore water pressure and (c) the effective
pressure at depths 0, 3.0, 7.0, and 11.0 m from the ground surface, and draw the pressure
distribution diagram.
