How To Calculate Effective Stress in Soil Mass During Upward Seepage of Water | Practical Example

Was a good video 💙

Why the delta u term is added not subtracted?

[@GeoEngineeringandScience]

Delta u (additional pore water pressure due to the upward seepage) increases the pore water pressure; that's why it is added. This will decrease the effective vertical stress, and undermine the stability of soil mass
