Neutral Stress in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

Neutral Stress in a soil mass is a force per effective area.stress taken up by the pore water and stress taken up by solid particles. And is denoted by σ_{Neutralstress}. Neutral Stress is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Neutral Stress is always positive.
