- A deposit of homogeneous mixed soils (soil including both coarse-grained and fine-grained sizes) possesses shear strength due to both cohesion and internal friction (c = 22 KPa, dp = 28') What shear strength is expected on a plane where the normal stress is 70 kPa?The soil profile at a site consists of 10 m of gravelly sand underlain by a soft clay layer. The water table lies 1 m below the ground level. The moist and saturated unit weights of the gravelly sand are 17.0 kN/m3 and 20.0 kN/m3, respectively. Due to some ongoing construction work, it is proposed to lower the water table to 3 m below the ground level. What will be the change in the effective stress on top of the soft clay layer?The soil profile at a site consists of 10 m of gravelly sand underlain by a soft clay layer.
