For a partially saturated soil, Δu the increase in pore water pressure, when no drainage is permitted, is expressed as (where A and B are Skempton's pore pressure parameters and Δσ1 and Δσ3 are major and minor principal stress increments) |
A. | Δu = B[Δσ3 + A(Δσ1 - Δσ3)] |
B. | Δu = A[Δσ3 + B(Δσ1 - Δσ3)] |
C. | Δu = Δσ3 + A(Δσ1 - Δσ3)] |
D. | Δu = Δσ3 + B(Δσ1 - Δσ3)] |
Answer» B. Δu = A[Δσ3 + B(Δσ1 - Δσ3)] | |
