Bearing Capacity of Soil and It’s Importance
Bearing capacity of soil is the strength of the soil to resist the compressive stress coming on it by the foundation of the structure constructed on it.
Geotechnical Engineering
Shear Strength of Soil
Concept of shear strength of soil : Different types of tests used to find out the shear strength of soil, factors affecting the shear stength of soil.
Permeability of Soil- Definition, Properties, Darcy’s Law
Permeability of soil- water strongly affects the engineering properties for most kind of soils and water is an important factor in most geotechnical problem
Water Content Determination of Soil by Various Methods
Water content determination of soil by various methods such as oven drying method, pycnometer method, sand bath method, alcohol method, etc.
