  • More about Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction


The concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction is a fundamental concept in soil mechanics that explains soil volume change behaviors. A comprehensive soil volume change framework called Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF) has been developed to predict soil and rock stress-strain responses accurately. This concept will be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

This comprehensive book delves into the fundamental concept of soil mechanics, serving as the foundation for understanding the intricate behaviors of soil. It extends the renowned concept of effective stress, coined by Terzaghi, and is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This innovative concept incorporates the role of mobilized shear strength within the soil body, enabling it to resist the compressive forces exerted upon it.

Based on this groundbreaking concept, a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed, known as the Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). RMYSF offers a profound explanation and quantification of perplexing and complex soil volume change behaviors. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to accurately predict soil and rock stress-strain responses at any given effective stress. This, in turn, leads to reliable predictions of soil and rock settlements, making it an invaluable tool for geotechnical engineers engaged in tasks such as soil settlement, underground excavation, computer modeling, rock mechanics, road engineering, earth and rock dam engineering, and tunnel engineering.

Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this novel fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics, it is anticipated that RMYSF will be incorporated into the soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable resource for geotechnical engineers seeking to enhance their understanding and expertise in these fields.
