Effective Stress

Effective Stress is a mechanical stress variable in soil mechanics defined as the component of total stress that is transmitted through and carried by the solid skeleton of a porous medium, commonly expressed as the difference between total stress and pore-fluid pressure, and governing the medium’s deformation and strength behavior.
