Effective Stress and Equilibrium Equation for Soil Mechanics, (Hardcover)

The concept of effective stress and effective stress equation are fundamental for establishing the theory of soil mechanics and poromechanics. However, up till now, the physical meaning of effective stress has not been explained clearly, and the theoretical basis of effective stress equation has not been proposed. This book is a primary reading for the theory of soil mechanics in a new viewpoint. The audience of this book is senior undergraduates, graduate students, academics, and researchers major in soil mechanics, poromechanics, civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, traffic engineering, mining engineering and petroleum engineering.
