Hello everyone, I try to do a triaxial test on a soil specimen. When I try to use the servo walls to apply the confining stress on the specimen, a question arises. As the soil is saturated, is the stress on the servo walls total stress or the effective stress? Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Hi Jack,
the servo wall is a pure DEM feature, it does this not account for the presence of the liquid.
Hope this answers your question!
Best,
Alice
