Soil Strength and Slope Stability

the soil. For a given value of total stress on the poten-tial failure plane, there is a unique value of pore pres-sure and therefore a unique value of effective stress. Thus, although it is true that shear strength is really controlled by effective stress, it is possible for the un-drained condition to relate shear strength to total nor-
