    This document discusses pore water pressure parameters in soils. It explains that the difference between total and effective stress is the pore water pressure. It also describes how Skempton's pore water pressure parameters B and A relate the change in pore water pressure to changes in applied stresses in undrained triaxial tests. Parameter B depends on soil saturation, while parameter A varies with overconsolidation ratio and deviator stress. The behavior of saturated soils in undrained and consolidated undrained triaxial tests is also summarized.
