The effect of uplift in liquid-saturated porous solids – Karl Terzaghi's contributions and recent findings

Reint de Boer, Anjani Kumar Didwania

Abstract

A recently discovered unpublished manuscript by Terzaghi is discussed extensively. It is revealed that this manuscript eliminates an insufficiency in the extant publications of Terzaghi. Moreover, Terzaghi's valuable contributions are compared with recent findings in the theory of porous media on the macroscale as well as on the microscale.
