Introduction The ultimate bearing power or ultimate bearing capacity of a soil is the minimum load per unit area, which causes failure to the soil. It is known that a load of any structure is finally transmitted to the soil […]
Geotechnical Engineering
Have you ever thought about how to classify rocks for engineering purposes?? Aggregates are one of the most important materials in civil engineering. Basically, Construction aggregate, or simply “aggregate”, is a broad category of coarse to medium grained particulate material
Introduction Types of foundation failure depend on the load it is subjected to. A foundation can fail in three different ways under loads. They are as follows: Punching shear failure of the foundation One-way shear failure of the foundation Flexure failure
Introduction Generally, geosynthetic refers to a product that is made from polymeric material and is applied as a key component in a structure or system to achieve engineering purposes. The prefix “geo” suggests whose application has to do with soil,
Introduction Sand replacement test method is used to determine the field density or in-place density of earth embankments, road fills, sub-grade, sub-base or any of compacted material. This method serves as the base upon which one can accept the density of a
Introduction:- A number of systems of classification have been evolved for categorizing various types of soil. Some of these have been developed specifically in connection with ascertaining the suitability of the soil for use in particular soil engineering projects. Some
