Question
I am aware of how to calculate the total vertical stress at the points, although I am not quite sure what needs to be put in the depth column. Is it the thickness of the layer, the depth at which you first hit the layer, or the depth to which the layer stretches?
Answer:
The depth is the absolute depth below the surface at which you’re calculating the pressure – positive going down from the surface.
Question
I also was wondering how to go about calculating the pore pressure.
Answer
Dr. Sjoblom explained how to calculate the pore pressure in the lecture. His notes are online in the folder: Resources/Lecture Notes.
