Nabil had attended a short seminar on the application of mat foundation on the peat soil. Due to lack of knowledge in geotechnics, he could not understand what is the effective stress mentioned by the keynote speaker. As a friend, could you help Nabil by explaining to him the relationship between effective stress, total stress and pore pressure?

Discuss the results in the following graph?
Provide your reasons why the shape of the shear strength function is not similar to that of permeability function.
Tension specimens (diameter d0 0.500 in., gage length L0 2.00 in.) made of structural materials A and B are tested to failure in tension. (a) At failure the distances between the gage marks are LAf 2.90 in. and LBf 2.22 in.; the corresponding diameters at the failure cross sections are dAf 0.263 in. and dBf 0.471 in., respectively. Determine the percent elongation in 2 in. and the percent reduction in area for these two materials, and classify each material as either brittle or ductile. (b) From these tensile tests the following data are also obtained: EA 10.0 103 ksi, (Y)A 5 ksi, (U)A 13 ksi; EB 10.4 103 ksi, (Y)B 73 ksi, (U)B 83 ksi. From the data given here, make rough sketches (to scale) of the stress-strain diagrams of materials A and B.
