Lecture

States of Stress and Mechanical Behavior

Description

This lecture covers the states of stress and introduces the mechanical behavior in soil mechanics and underground flows. It discusses effective stress principles, consolidation equations, compressibility of fluids and solids, Laplace's equation, and Terzaghi's primary consolidation equation. The presentation also includes demonstrations, examples of compressibility values, and the distribution of stresses under different foundation types.
