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.

Sieve Analysis & Particle Sizing Graphs Classification of Soil

The grain-size characteristics of soils that are predominantly coarse grained

are evaluated by a sieve analysis

A nest of sieves is prepared by stacking sieves one above the other with the

largest opening at the top followed by sieves of successively smaller

openings and a catch pan at the bottom of all the sieves

There are two soil classification systems in

common use for engineering purposes.

Soil Stress Analysis Compaction of soil, its uses and

effects

Both immediate and consolidation settlement analysis requires estimate of

increase in pressure (ΔHσ) in the soil layers from the applied loads. Several

methods are available to estimate the increase in pressure at any depth z

from the applied load. ..... [Read More]

We will discuss:

1. 2:1 Slope method

2. Boussinesq Method.

Compaction is the application of mechanical

energy to a soil to rearrange the particles and

reduce the void ratio.. [Read More]

Modes of Shear Failure in Soil Earth Pressure

1. Pressure at rest





There are three modes of shear failure, i.e. General, Local and Punching

shear failures depending upon the compressibility of soil and depth of footing

with respect to its breadth (i.e D/B Ratio). When the ultimate bearing capacity

of the soil is reached, it may fail in one of the following three failure mode

depending upon the type of soil and depth to width ratio of the footing (i.e.

D/B)......... [Read More]

Types of Soil Settlement 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]

◾ Analytic method i.e. through bearing

capacity equations like using Terzaghi

equation, Meyerhof equation, Hansen

equation etc

◾ Correlation with field test data e.g.

Standard penetration test (SPT), Cone

penetration test (CPT) etc

◾ On site determination of bearing

capacity e.g Plate load test, Pile load

test

◾ Presumptive bearing capacity

(recommended bearing capacity, in

various codes).... [Read More]

The soil properties on which their classification and identification are based

are known as index properties..... [Read More]

The index properties which are used are:

◾ Grain Size Distribution

◾ Consistency Limits

◾ Plasticity Index

Plastic saturated soils (silts and clays) usually

cohesion less soil and are more susceptible to

bearing capacity failure.

For saturated plastic soils, the bearing capacity

often has to be calculated for different

conditionTotal Stress Analysis (Short term

condition) that uses the un-drained shear

strength of the plastic soil. Effective stress

analysis (Long term condition that uses the

drained shear strength parameters (c' & F') of

the plastic soil).... [Read More]

Shear Strength of Soil Determining Liquid Limit 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]

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]
