What is Effective Normal Stress?

The principle of effective stresses applies only to normal stresses and not shear stresses. Total stress (σ) is equal to the sum of effective stress (σ') and pore water pressure (u) or, alternatively, effective stress is equal to total stress minus pore water pressure.

How to Calculate Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight?

Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight calculator uses Effective Normal Stress in Soil Mechanics = ((Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Unit Weight of Water)*Depth of Prism*(cos((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil*pi)/180))^2) to calculate the Effective Normal Stress in Soil Mechanics, The Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight is defined as the value of effective normal stress when we have prior information of other parameters used. Effective Normal Stress in Soil Mechanics is denoted by σ^' symbol.

How to calculate Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight, enter Saturated Unit Weight of Soil (γ_saturated), Unit Weight of Water (γ_water), Depth of Prism (z) & Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil (i) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Effective Normal Stress given Saturated Unit Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.024561 = ((11890-9810)*3*(cos((1.11701072127616*pi)/180))^2).
