Stresses in a layer of soils
In many places on earth the soil consists of practically horizontal layers. If such a soil does not carry a […]
Stresses in soils
As in other materials, stresses may act in soils as a result of an external load and the volumetric weight
Volumetric weight of soil
In soil mechanics it is often required to determine the total weight of a soil body. This can be calculated
Density of Soil
For the description of the density and the volumetric weight of a soil, the densities of the various components are
Porosity
Soils usually consist of particles, water and air. In order to describe a soil various parameters are used to describe
Classification of Soil Mechanics
2.1 Grain size Soils are usually classified into various types. In many cases these various types also have different mechanical
Why Soil Mechanics ?
Soil mechanics has become a distinct and separate branch of engineering mechanics because soils have a number of special properties,
Introduction of Soil mechanics
The discipline Soil mechanics is the science of equilibrium and motion of soil bodies. Here soil is understood to be
