Hello,
On question 33 of six minute solutions for geotechnical, why do they take the total stress and not effective stress for shear strength calculation, can anyone tell me?
for those who dont have that book, It is a question that basically gives the thickness of a cohesive soil with also angle of friction . they give dry density, moisture content and depth also. they want us to calculate the shear stress mid point of the layer.
