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.
