Principle of Effective Stress, Capillarity and Permeability
Numerical
Total Stress = Sum of all the stresses above a point.
Neutral Stress = Hydrostatic Pressure above a point.
Effective Stress = Total Stress - Neutral Stress
Few Numerical are given below based on these concepts.
Numerical 1 :-
Numerical 2 :-
In respect of these two numerical, it can be understood that,
1. A rise in water table results in the decrease of effective stress.
2. Lowering of water table results in increase of effective stress.
