principle that the strength and deformation of saturated soil are governed by total stress minus pore water pressure, not by total stress.

In geotechnical engineering, effective stress principle refers to principle that the strength and deformation of saturated soil are governed by total stress minus pore water pressure, not by total stress. This meaning comes from Terzaghi (1943) in Theoretical Soil Mechanics.[1]
