pore water pressure in a sentence

Examples

1. This parameter is called the effective stress of the soil, basically equal to the difference in a soil's total stress and pore water pressure.
2. Pore water pressure is vital in calculating the stress state in the ground soil mechanics, from Terzaghi's expression for the effective stress of a soil.
3. During isotropic yielding volumetric strain is isotopically distributed within the specimen, this improves measurement of volumetric response during CD tests and pore water pressure during CU loading.
4. The increases in pore water pressure and in formation stress combine and affect weaknesses near the hydraulic fracture, like natural fractures, joints, and bedding planes.
5. A soil could be considered " underconsolidated " immediately after a new load is applied but before the excess pore water pressure has had time to dissipate.
6. "Coupled rainfall-stability analysis methods, in which pore water pressure response models are coupled to slope stability models to try to understand the complexity of the system
7. An alternative theory is that basal till, weakened by high pore water pressure, deformed upwards into parallel basal crevasses a short distance in from the glacial margin.
8. It also cannot really take account of pore water pressure built-up during cyclic loading which can lead to initiation of liquefaction and different failures than simple distinct slip surfaces.
9. They are the result of a combination of scour at the bank toe, high pore water pressure in the bank material, and tension crack at the top of the bank.
10. Drainage systems reduce the water level inside a potentially unstable hillside, which leads to reduction in pore water pressures in the ground and an increase in the shear strength within the slope.
