This is an equation for the average ultimate strain in soil layer which can be said to be the shear strength of soil
In this equation, the inputs are:
- ` Delta e_T0T` - total change in void ratio due to both re-compression and due to virgin compression, if either exists
- `e_O` - initial void ratio (prior to consolidation)
Both inputs are ratios of voids and so are unit-less inputs
