OBJECTIVES
To understand the basic properties and strength nature of various soils and their
settlement behaviour in foundations.
UNIT I SOIL PROPERTIES AND COMPACTION OF SOIL 9
Nature of Soil - Problems with soil - phase relation – particle size distribution – Atterberg
limits - classification for engineering purposes - BIS Classification system – Soil
compaction - factors affecting compaction – laboratory and field compaction methods
and monitoring.
UNIT II SOIL MOISTURE – PERMEABILITY, STRESSES IN SOILS 9
Soil water – Various forms –Capillary rise – Suction - Effective stress concepts in soil –
Total, neutral and effective stress distribution in soil - Permeability – Darcy’s Law-
Permeability measurement in the laboratory – quick sand condition - Stress distribution
in soil media – Boussinesq’s formula – stress due to line load, Circular and rectangular
loaded area - approximate methods - Use of influence charts – Westerguard equation for
point load.
UNIT III SHEAR STRENGTH AND SLOPE STABILITY 9
Shear strength of cohesive and cohesionless soil – Mohr, Coulomb failure theory –
Measurement of shear strength - direct shear, Triaxial compression, UCC and Vane
shear tests –Types of shear tests based on drainage and their applicability - Drained and
undrained behaviour of clay and sand. Slope failure mechanisms - Modes - Infinite
slopes - Finite slopes – Total and effective stress analysis - Stability analysis for purely
cohesive and C Ö soils - Method of slices – Modified Bishop’s method - Friction circle
method - stability number.
UNIT IV SOIL EXPLORATION 9
Scope and objectives – Methods of exploration - averaging and boring – Wash boring
and rotary drilling – Depth of boring – Spacing of bore hole - Sampling – Representative
and undisturbed sampling – sampling techniques – Split spoon sampler, Thin tube
sampler, Stationary piston sampler – Bore log report – Penetration tests (SPT and
SCPT) – Data interpretation (Strength parameters and Liquefaction potential).
UNIT V FOUNDATION – BEARING CAPACITY AND SETTLEMENT 9
Introduction – Location and depth of foundation – Selection of foundation based on soil
condition - codal provisions – bearing capacity of shallow foundation on homogeneous
deposits –Terzaghi’s formula and BIS formula – factors affecting bearing capacity –
problems - Bearing Capacity from insitu tests (SPT, SCPT and plate load) – Allowable
bearing pressure, Settlement – Components of settlement – Determination of settlement
of foundations on granular and clay deposits - Allowable settlements – Codal provision –
Methods of minimising settlement, differential settlement.
