Negative pore pressure refers to a condition in which the pressure within the pores of a soil or rock mass is lower than the atmospheric pressure. This can lead to reduced effective stress and potentially cause instability in the material, leading to phenomena such as landslides or slope failures. Negative pore pressure is commonly observed in unsaturated soils or during rapid drainage of water from a soil mass.
What else can I help you with?
Can you have negative pressure in a closed system?
Yes, negative pressure can exist in a closed system when the pressure inside the system is lower than the pressure outside.
Is it possible for there to be negative pressure in a closed system?
Yes, it is possible for there to be negative pressure in a closed system.
Why vacuum pressure is negative?
Vacuum pressure is negative because it is measured relative to atmospheric pressure, which is considered the reference point of zero pressure. When the pressure in a system drops below atmospheric pressure and leads to a vacuum, the pressure is expressed as negative to indicate the lower pressure level in comparison to the reference point.
Is it possible for absolute pressure to be negative?
No, absolute pressure cannot be negative as it is always measured as a positive value above zero.
Can pressure be negative in a given situation?
Yes, pressure can be negative in a given situation when it causes stress, anxiety, or harm to individuals or groups.
Would you expect the suction in the soil to be 0 at any time?
Soil suction is zero at the phreatic surface. This is the point where the pore water pressure is equal to the pore air pressure. Above this surface pore water pressure becomes increasingly negative compared to pore air pressure and as such matric suctions develop. Below the phreatic surface the pore water pressure becomes increasingly positive and the pore spaces are totally saturated.
What is a typical effective cohesion value from negative pore water pressure in a uniformly graded loose medium sand?

What is the difference between pore pressure and formation pressure?
Pore pressure refers to the pressure exerted by fluids within the pore spaces of a rock formation, while formation pressure refers to the total pressure within a formation, including both the weight of the overlying rock and the pressure of any fluids present. Pore pressure is a subset of formation pressure and represents the pressure contributed solely by the fluids in the rock pores.
How does capillary rise affect effective stress in soils?
Effective Stress at Ground Water Table = Total Stress minus the Pore water stress, but the pore water stress is negative, therefore = Total Stress plus the water pressure in capillary zone. -kelvinbrbTSU
How is the Chattahoochee river affected by constructive or destructive forces?
, Why there can be a negative value of pore pressure in clay with high OCR and why? Thank you for your help. I just wanted to sound scientific, so, ACTUALLY, it's destructive.
How do you measure negative pressure?
Negative pressure is typically measured using a device called a manometer, which can accurately detect and quantify the pressure difference between the reference point and the negative pressure source. The manometer displays the pressure reading by using a fluid column that moves based on the pressure applied to it, providing a visual indication of the negative pressure level.
What is the force of expanding water in the cracks of pores and rocks an example of?
It is called pore water pressure
When was Negative pressure ventilator created?
Negative pressure ventilator was created in 1928.
Values of a and b in skemptons pore water pressure parameter?
Skempton's pore pressure parameters A and B are used to check the saturation of the sample. As when the sample is fully saturated if we increase the cell pressure there will be same amount of increment in the pore pressure too. The reason behind this is that the system acts more like a confined bulb . Similarly the parameter A gives the change in the pore pressure as we increase the deviatoric stress Δu3=BΔσ3 Δud=AΔσd
What is important of effective stress in soil mechanics?
Effective Stress is the grain to grain contact of soil particles. the higher the effective stress, the stronger the soil. effective stress at a certain depth is calculated as follows: Effective stress = total stress - pore water pressure the pore water pressure is often taken as water table. pore water pressure has a negative effectice on effective stress, as it hinders grain to grain contact.
When is intrapleural pressure most negative?
Intrapleural pressure is most negative at the completion of inspiration.
Is the mantle porous?
No. The mantle is under such great pressure that any pore space would close immediately.
