For very fine sand having an average void ratio of 0.65 has the water table at a depth of 5 meters below the ground surface. Above the water table, the sand has an average degree of saturation of 50%. Calculate the increase in the effective pressure (in kN/m2) at 8 metres below the ground surface, if the soil gets saturated by capillarity up to a height of 1 m above the water table. (Assume specific gravity = 2.65)
Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
