someone help me with foundation engineering?
The depth of water in a lake is 4 m. The soil at bottom of the lake consists of sandy clay. The water content of soil was determined to be 25.0%. The specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.70. Determine the void ratio and unit weight of the soil. What would be the total stress, effective stress, and pore water pressure at the 5 m depth into the bottom of the lake?...

For the soil strata, draw diagrams indicating the total stress, pore pressure and effective stress profiles to the bottom of clay layer. Fine sand has a thickness of 6 m (FST) with saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m2. Clay has a thickness of 8 m with saturated unit weight of 14 kN/m3 The water table is located at depth of 0.7 of fine sand thickness below the ground surface (i.e. depth=0.7*FST). Fine sand will sustain capillarity (suction). Assume the same...

Question 2 The soil profile at a level site consists of a 3-m thick layer of sandy clay, overlaying an 8-m thick layer of loose sand, overlaying stiff gravelly clays that extend to depths greater than 20 m. The water table is at a depth of 2 m and the ground water is initially hydrostatic. The total unit weight of the upper sandy clay, above or below the water table, is 18 kN/m3. The total unit weight of the loose...

Problem 7 The soil profile at a site consists of a top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the ground level. The following data was obtained from a consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the middle of the clay layer: water content 5 36%, specific gravity of the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72, recompression...

A 5m wide and 10m long rectangular foundation is built on a site where the soil profile consists of 3m of gravel and 4m of clay overlying rigid impermeable rock as shown in Fiqure 8. The foundation carries a surcharge loading of q-65 kN/m2 Initially the water table is 1 m below the surface of the gravel. The water table rises to the surface of the gravel slowly over a period of time and the surface loading induces an increase...

Two undisturbed clay samples were taken from the middle of the
overconsolidated and normally consolidated clay layers in the soil
profile shown. The water table is at the top of the
overconsolidated clay layer. Consolidation tests were carried out
on the two samples and the results are summarized in the table
below. Assume that the bulk, dry, and saturated unit weights of the
sand are 16 kN/m3, 16 kN/m3 and 19
kN/m3, respectively. The specific gravity of the clay
