Display of Effective Stress/Settlement-Generating Stress
Display of effective/settlement-generating stress
The image shows a schematic display of the efficient/settlement-generating stress σu as a function of depth at four sections in the horizontal direction relative to the foundation. This is determined from the load stress σz, which is reduced by the factorized initial stress σs (from the soil's own weight). (Image source: Image 4.1 from Buček, J. (2009).
