An unconfined compression test is performed on a dense silt. Previous drained triaxial tests on similar samples of the silt gave ϕ - 32°. If the unconfined compressive strength was 420kPa, estimate the height ot capillary rise in this soil above the ground water table. (Him: Find the effective confining pressure acting on the specimen. Draw elements similar to Fig)
