The ratio of lateral strains to axial strains at the strain-softening stage in uniaxial compression, which is termed as the post-peak Poisson’s ratio, is studied analytically.

Relation between the snap-back(Class II behavior in rock mechanics) of axial stress-axial strain curve of rock specimen in uniaxial compression subjected to shear failure in the form of a single shear band and the snap-back of axial stress-lateral strain curve was investigated analytically.

Based on the triaxial rheological experimental results, the variance law of axial and lateral strains of greenschist specimens with the time under different confining pressures is investigated.

Around the stability of foundation Pits, qualitative analysis about soil lateral stress change after excavationis covered in this paper.

The change in the lateral stress is obtained during the water uptake test on compacted sand-bentonite mixtures which is transited from unsaturated to saturated states.

Based on researching the collapse cause of an industrial building,it is concluded that the main cause is pile foundation’s lateral displacement induced by soil pressure,which is transferred to pile body due to soil arching action between piles.
