Civil Engineering > GATE 2022 SET-2 > Effective Stress
A soil sample is underlying a water column of height h1, as shown in the figure. The vertical effective stresses at points A, B, and C are σ'A, σ'B, and σ'C respectively. Let γsat and γ' be the saturated and submerged unit weights of the soil sample, respectively, and γw be the unit weight of water. Which one of the following expressions correctly represents the sum (σ'A+σ'B+σ'C)?
A
(2h2+h3)γ'
B
(h1+h2+h3)γ'
C
(h2+h3)(γsat−γw)
D
(h1+h2+h3sat

Correct : a
