Hello,
See attachment. The provided solution shows the specific weight of water subtracted from the specific weight of the soil (highlighted) in determining the active soil pressure below the water table. Should it not be the specific weight of water subtracted from the saturated soil specific weight.
Is the provided solution incorrect or am I confused? Thank you in advance.
