FAQ

What is the Effective Cohesion?

Effective Cohesion is the cohesive strength of soil that is attributed to the soil’s inherent properties, such as chemical bonding and other physicochemical forces between soil particles. Effective Cohesion is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Effective Cohesion is always positive.

Can the Effective Cohesion be negative?

No, the Effective Cohesion, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Effective Cohesion?

Effective Cohesion is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Effective Cohesion can be measured.
