The concept of effective stress truly becomes interesting when dealing with non-hydrostatic pore water pressure.
2.
The pore water pressure is essential in differentiating a soil's total stress from its effective stress.
3.
Pore water pressure is the pressure of water that is trapped within the particles of rocks and soils.
4.
Alternatively, shear strength may be decreased by weathering, changes in pore water pressure, and organic material.
5.
Normally, effective normal stress is calculated by subtracting the pore water pressure from the normal stress, in natural conditions.
6.
Among other academic writings, he formulated concepts such as that of A and B pore water pressure coefficient which is still widely used today.
7.
Realistically, the effective stress is greater than the total stress, as the pore water pressure in these partially saturated soils is actually negative.
8.
The increased moisture content of bioreactor landfill may reduce the structural stability of the landfill by increasing the pore water pressure within the waste mass.
9.
In areas of high pore water pressure, sand and salt water can form quicksand, which is a colloid hydrogel that behaves like a liquid.
10.
