Index Properties of Soil and Its Formation
Physical properties of soil which are useful to identify and differentiate soils from one another are known as ‘Index Properties of Soil’.
soil mechanics
Effective Stress Concept in Soil Mechanics
Karl Terzaghi was the first to propose this effective stress concept principle. In soil mechanics, this is a very critical concept.
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.
