Terzaghi’s Principle of Effective Stress
Terzaghi’s Principle of Effective Stress is a fundamental concept in soil mechanics introduced by Karl Terzaghi, often considered the father of modern geotechnical engineering. The principle states that the strength and deformation behavior of a soil is governed by the effective stress, not the total stress. Key Components of Terzaghi’s Principle: Total Stress (σ): The […]
