What does pore water pressure influence in soils?
Consider what happens to a sponge under pressure.
Define effective stress in your own words.
Think about what stresses are actually contributing to the soil's ability to support loads.
What primarily represents the soil skeleton in Terzaghi’s Spring Mass Analogy?
Think about how the model is set up.
