Compaction Effect on Soil Properties
The influence of compaction effect on soil properties is highly dependent on the structure achieved by the soil during compaction.
Soil Compaction : Mechanics & Factors Affecting Compaction
Soil Compaction is a method of stabilizing loose soil by densification, which can be achieved with either static or dynamic load.
Compaction and Consolidation Differences
In this article we have showcased major points which states the difference between compaction and consolidation process of soils.
Seepage Pressure & Quick Sand Condition
In this article we have defined the seepage pressure along with its formula and the phenomena of quick sand condition.
Darcy’s Law & Its Limitations
Darcy’s law states that the discharge or rate of flow per unit time is proportional to hydraulic gradient. Limitations of Darcy’s Law are :
Frost Heave : Causes and Prevention
In simple terms frost heave / frost heaving means the contraction and expansion of soil due to freezing and thawing conditions.
Three Phase System of Soil (Diagram)
Three Phase System of Soil is nothing but the soil mass made up of solid, liquid and gaseous matter. Three phase diagram represents it.
Soil Structure and Their Types
The soil structure can be defined as the proper geometrical arrangement of particles of soil with respect to each other.
Residual Soil and Transported Soil
Residual soil and Transported soils are formed by different agencies of nature. The examples of these are listed below.
Total Station : Advantages & Features
In surveying, the advanced electronic instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles along with distance is called total station.
