A level ground surface exists in an area where soil in the underlying stratum has a wet unit weight of 19 kN/m3. The vertical pressure at any depth represents the major principal stress. The vertical pressure (stress) is the product of the soil unit weight and depth. The lateral pressure at a corresponding depth is 0.45 times the vertical pressure and represents the minor principal stress.
