Calculate the total pressure, water pressure and effective pressure for the following heights  

What is the Total Pressure @ 10 ft/

What id the water Pressure at 9 ft?

The soil profile at the bottom of a 10-ft deep lake consists of 3 feet of high plasticity clay (γsat= 118 pcf) above 12 feet of silty sand (γsat= 124 pcf). Below the silty sand is a 20-ft-thick layer of poorly graded sand(γsat= 123 pcf). During a drought, the lake depth reduces to only 5 feet. Calculate the change in total stress, effective stress, and pore water pressure at the center of the SP layer due to drought conditions.

Consider a 20 foot thick saturated clay that has a sand layer above it and an impermeable rock layer below it. The clay layer has an initial effective stress at its midpoint of 3145 lbs/ft2.    Due to the presence of a large water tank on the surface, the stress is increased by 710 lbs/ft2 at the midpoint of the clay layer. How much total settlement from primary consolidation is expected? Provide your answer in inches. Soil properties: Compression index = .324,...
