1. (30 pts) The soil profile shown below consists of 10 meters of sandy silt overlying gravel. The pore water pressure at the top surface of the silty sand is zero and can be assumed to remain zero. a) Calculate the level to which water would rise in a piezometer tube inserted into the top of the gravel if the silty sand is just stable? Use submerged unit weights and seepage forces to arrive at your answer (do not calculate total stresses and pore water pressures). Express your answer as an elevation, e.g. "Elev. 130".
