Volumetric weight of soil
In soil mechanics it is often required to determine the total weight of a soil body. This can be calculated […]
Soil mechanics
Soil mechanics studies soil behavior under stress and strain. It’s crucial for foundation design, slope stability, and earthquake engineering.
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
