Soil Mechanics Introduction and Definition

Soil mechanics is defined as the application of the laws and principles of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems
dealing with soil as an engineering material. Soil has many different meanings, depending on the field of study. To a geotechnical
engineer, soil has a much broader meaning and can include not only agronomic material, but also broken-up fragments of rock,
volcanic ash, alluvium, Aeolian sand, glacial material, and any other residual or transported product of rock weathering.
As the name Soil Mechanics implies the subject is concerned with the deformation and strength of bodies of soil. It deals with
the mechanical properties of the soil materials and with the application of the knowledge of these properties to engineering
problems. In particular it is concerned with the interaction of structures with their foundation material. This includes both
conventional structures and also structures such as earth dams, embankments and roads which are their-selves made of soil.

Methods of Determining Soil Bearing

Capacity

A soil shear failure can result in excessive building distortion and even
collapse. Excessive settlements can result in structural damage to a building
frame nuisances such as sticking doors and windows, cracks in tile and
plaster, and excessive wear or equipment failure from misalignment resulting
from foundation settlements.
It is necessary to investigate both base shear resistance (ultimate bearing
capacity) and settlements for any structure. In many cases settlement criteria
will control the allowable bearing capacity...... [Read More]

Shear Strength of Soil

Soils derive their strength from contact between particles capable of

transmitting normal as well as shear forces. The contact between soil
particles is mainly due to friction and the corresponding stress between the
soil grains is called the effective stress s'.
Thus, the shear strength of a soil is mainly governed by the effective stress.
Besides the effective stress between soil grains, the pore water contained in
the void spaces of the soil also exerts pressure which is known as pore
pressure, u. [Read More]

condition) that uses the un-drained shear

Determining Liquid Limit of Soil

This testing method is used as an integral part of

several engineering classifications systems to
characterize the fine-grained fractions of soils
and to specify the fine-grained fraction of
construction materials. The liquid limit, plastic
limit and plasticity index of soils are also used
extensively, either individually or together, with
other soil properties to correlate with
engineering behavior such as compressibility,
permeability, compactibility, shrink-swell and
shear strength..... [Read More]
