Abstract

The effective stress and capillary pressure in unsaturated porous media are analyzed from a micromechanical ansatz. The assumptions underlying the commonly used Bishop’s expression for effective stress are elucidated.KeywordsPorous MediumContact AngleEffective StressCapillary PressureLiquid BridgeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
