You would expect your home’s foundation to remain intact and provide service for life after construction. But that is unlikely to be the case, especially if you have water problems or drainage issues.

In curved geometries the hydrostatic pressure in a fluid does not equal the weight per unit area of the fluid above it. General weight-pressure and mass-pressure relationships for hydrostatic fluids ...

A hydrostatic stress is one for which the diagonal terms of the stress tensor are of equal value and the off-diagonal terms are zero. For this situation the diagonal terms are equal to -p, where p is ...
