Green's אבּר (Bar)

Green's אבּר (Bar) is a measurement used in geotechnical engineering to assess the strength and stability of soil and rock materials. It represents the maximum bending stress, or flexural strength, a material can withstand before breaking under a bending load. Essentially, the Bar indicates how much force per unit area (pressure) a material can endure in bending without failing. This measurement helps engineers design foundations, earth structures, and other constructions by understanding the material's capacity to resist deformation and failure under various loads.
