An embankment is to be constructed on a soil of shear strength parameters, c = 50 kN/m2, ϕ’ = 20° and unit weight = 16 kN/m3. It was proposed that fill has been raised from 2 m to 5 m. Take pore pressure coefficient A and B as 0.8 and 0.4 respectively. Assume lateral pressure is one-fourth of the vertical pressure. Then the change in pore water pressure is ___ kPa.
