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)]
