The vertical stress (σv) acting on a horizontal plain can be estimated using the weight of the overlaying layers, as shown below:
The vertical stress (σv) acting on a horizontal plane can be estimated using the weight of the overlaying layers, as shown below:
::<math>\sigma_v = \sigma_z + Pa</math> (measured in Mega Pascal)
::<math>\sigma_v = \sigma_z + Pa</math> (measured in Mega Pascal)
