When Karl von Terzaghi applied the effective stress principle in the soil mechanics theory, the strength and volumetric behavior of saturated soils could be clearly understood and general constitutive ...

When the guys at [Practical Engineering] say they have a dirty car stand, they really mean it! They made a block of dirt and sheets of fiberglass as reinforcement material, and the resistance was put ...
