SF7211 ADVANCED SOIL MECHANICS LABORATORY I L T P C 0 0 4 2 

OBJECTIVES:
 At the end of the course student attains adequate knowledge in assessing index properties, compaction, CBR, Compressibility, Swell characteristics and permeability of soils by conducting laboratory tests.
LIST OF EXPERIMENTS 

UNIT I INDEX TESTS 12 sSpecific gravity of soil solids-Grain size distribution (Sieve analysis and Hydrometer analysis) - Liquid limit and Plastic limit tests - Shrinkage limit and Differential free swell tests - Field density Test 

UNIT II CHEMICAL TESTS 12 Chemical analysis – pH – Conductivity – quantification of ions through flame Photometer – Determination of organic, sulphate and chlorite content. 

UNIT III COMPACTION AND CBR TESTS 12 Compaction tests - Determination of moisture – density relationship – Influence of compaction energy – CBR Test.

 UNIT IV COSOLIDATION AND PERMEABILITY TESTS 12 One dimensional consolidation test, Cv , Cc and mv determination. Permeability of soil – constant and falling head methods. 

UNIT V SWELLTESTS 12 Determination of percent swell – swell pressure, constant volume method; expanded - loaded method. 
TOTAL: 60 PERIODS 

OUTCOME:
 Students will be capable of assessing various properties of soils by conducting appropriate tests.
