Extracted text: The figure shows a layer of granular soil in a tank with an upward seepage by applying water through the valve at the bottom of the tank. The loss of head caused by upward seepage between the levels of A and B is 0.70 m. and between levels A and C is 0.28 m. The void ratio of the soil is 0.52 and its specific gravity is 2.72. O Compute the effective stress at C. (2) Compute the effective stress at B. 3 Compute the upward seepage force per unit volume.
