Question
a. A layer of saturated clay $4\text{ m}$ thick and overlaid by sand of $5\text{ m}$ thickness and water level is $3\text{ m}$ below the ground level. Saturated unit weight of clay is $19\text{ kN/m}^3$ and sand is $20\text{ kN/m}^3$. Unit weight above water table is $16\text{ kN/m}^3$. Height of capillary saturation zone is $1\text{ m}$ above water table. Plot effective stress and pore water pressure graph.
b. What are the major soil deposits of India? Explain their characteristics.
