At a planned construction site, subsurface sampling indicates that the soil wet unit weight is 19.5 kN/m3.
(a) Determine the effective vertical stress at a depth of 4 m if the groundwater table is deep.
(b) Determine the effective vertical stress if the groundwater table is at the ground surface.
(c) Determine the effective vertical stress at the 4 m depth if the groundwater table is 2 m below the surface.
