Soil Mechanics – Effective Stress for Single Layer Soil Profile | GEOtExcel Spreadsheets

Soil Mechanics – Effective Stress for Single Layer Soil Profile | GEOtExcel Spreadsheets

[GEO-2025-0122] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are excited to present the Effective Stress for Single Layer Soil Profile spreadsheet pack, part of the GEOtExcel (2025-1) collection. This set includes 20 sheets, designed for geotechnical engineers, soil mechanics students, and civil engineers looking to calculate and visualize effective stress in a single-layer soil profile. The pack includes essential calculations and graphs for total stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress in both kg/m² and kN/m² units.


What’s Included in the 20 Spreadsheets?

  1. Start: Introduction sheet for Effective Stress calculations (kg-Layout 1).
  2. Single Layer-kg: Main sheet explaining the Effective Stress concept for a single-layer profile in kg/m².
  3. TS-01: Calculation Sheet 1 for Total Stress calculation and associated graph.
  4. u-01: Calculation Sheet 2 for Pore Water Pressure calculation and graph.
  5. ES-01: Calculation Sheet 3 for Effective Stress calculation and graph.
  6. [GEO-2025-0122-A] – kg-Layout 1: Effective Stress layout for kg/m².
  7. [GEO-2025-0122-B] – kg-Layout 2: Second layout for Effective Stress using kg/m².
  8. [GEO-2025-0122-C] – kN-Layout 1: Effective Stress layout for kN/m².
  9. [GEO-2025-0122-D] – kN-Layout 2: Second layout for Effective Stress using kN/m².

Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:

  • Performing effective stress analysis in single-layer soil profiles
