Problem 1 (Hint: use the stress to calculate appropriate unit weights)

Total vertical stress at a depth of 10’ below the ground surface is 1100 psf. The water table is at a depth of 20’.

What is the void ratio of the soil if the moisture content is 22% and the Gs = 2.67?

If the water table rises to the surface and saturates the soils (S=100%), what is the water content of the soil?

e =          

new water content (w) =

Using the data in Textbook Problem 8.8: a. Plot the vertical effective consolidation stress versus void ratio on both arithmetic and semi-log graphs. For the arithmetic graph, constrain the vertical axes to 0.55 and 0.95; and the horizontal to 0 to 1,500 kPa; for the semi-log graph, use the same vertical axis constraints, but use 10 kPa and 10,000 kPa to ease interpretation. Plot the data points only, and draw in a smooth curve by hand. Plot each graph on...
