Correct Calculation of Vertical Stress in Soil
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="Chestermiller, post: 5860948, member: 345636"] Well, the problem statement says that, in determining the vertical stress, "the sand above ground level may be assumed to be saturated." So, you are correct in your objection. But the question is, how much of an error does this approximation introduce? Why don't you assume a sand porosity of 30% and quantify the magnitude of the error introduced by this approximation in the vertical stress and in the effective stress at the center of the clay layer?
