In Situ Test on Effective Stress Principle for Ultra Soft Soil

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effective stress principle for soil is inspected by examining the original concept and derivation of the principle from the perspective of the ultra-soft soil engineering applications; and the existing problems of the principle were discussed in accordance with the general methodology of mechanics, and relative engineering phenomena observed. The changes of pore water pressure and soil pressure with time were obtained based on series of long term in-situ test in a large ultra-soft ground treatment works directed by the first author; and then an important conclusion has acquired from the test, i.e. the effective stress principle is not a self-contained principle and it’s related to the medium constitutive characteristics and loading action mode.
