Effective Vertical Shear Stress in Soil in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Effective Vertical Shear Stress in soil is the total vertical stress acting at a point below the ground surface is due to the weight of everything lying above soil, water, and surface loading. And is denoted by σ_vo. Effective Vertical Shear Stress in Soil is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Effective Vertical Shear Stress in Soil is always positive.
