given in Table 24.l; to calculate active and passive pressures in layered soils and where
there are pore pressures it is convenient to tabulate the calculations in this way. Notice
that the stresses at the base of the sand are not the same as the stresses at the top of
the clay. Figure 24.17 shows the variations of active and passive total pressures with
depth.
