effective stress in a sentence

Examples

1. This is due to the non-linearity of the relationship between void ratio and effective stress, although for small stress increments assumption 7 is reasonable.
2. The results from these tests are used to predict how a soil in the field will deform in response to a change in effective stress.
3. 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.
4. The reason for spinning a model on a centrifuge is to enable small scale models to feel the same effective stresses as a full-scale prototype.
5. At any point above the water table, in the vadose zone, the effective stress is approximately equal to the total stress, as proven by Terzaghi's principle.
6. It is not practical to measure " ? "'directly, so in practice the vertical effective stress is calculated from the pore pressure and vertical total stress.
7. The coefficient of lateral earth pressure, K, is defined as the ratio of the horizontal effective stress, ? h, to the vertical effective stress, ? v.
8. The buoyancy effects of water have a large impact on certain soil properties, such as the effective stress present at any point in a soil medium.
9. The coefficient of lateral earth pressure, K, is defined as the ratio of the horizontal effective stress, ? h, to the vertical effective stress, ? v.
10. Using a load increment ratio of 1 / 2 provides a sufficient number of data points to describe the relationship between void ratio and effective stress for a soil.
