Characterization of mechanisms contributing to distribution of yield stress in a soil profile (on the basis on Jamiolkowski et al. (1985)).

Category Description Stress History Profile
A) Mechanical One-Dimensional 1) Changes in total vertical stress (overburden, glaciers, etc.)2) Changes in pore pressure (water table, seepage conditions, etc.) Uniform with constant s’p-s’v0 (except with seepage)
B) Desiccation 1) Drying due to evaporation vegetation, etc.2) Drying due to freezing Often highly erratic
C) Drained Creep (Aging) 1) Long-term secondary compression Uniform with constant s’p/s’v0
D) Physicochemical 1) Natural cementation due to carbonates, silica, etc.2) Other causes of bonding due to ion exchange, thixotropy, “weathering,” etc. Not uniform
