The soil used in this experiment is Kaolinite clay‚ which has Cv = 8.69 sqm/year at 300 kPa (hydraulic result) and Cv = 2.98 sqm/year at 288 kPa (manual result). This result then would be compare with some theoretical calculation by using the isochorne plot. Introduction Oedometer test is test to present and measure the consolidation of a soil. Consolidation is a process when an external load is given at the top of a saturated soil which will cause the water to be squeezed from the soil and

Component of soil Weight-Volume Relationships Prepared by: aidsalma@feng.unimas.my 1 Introduction • Soil is a three-phase material consisting of a skeleton of solid particles. • The solid particles encompassing voids filled with water & air. • It is necessary that the constitution of the solidswater-air mixture can be expressed quantitatively in terms of some standard physical properties. • Soil water is commonly known as pore water • If all voids are filled with water = soil is saturated

Soil Mechanics Soil is the most misunderstood term in the field. The problem arises in the reasons for which different groups or professions study soils. Soil scientists are interested in soils as a medium for plant growth. So soil scientists focus on the organic rich part of the soils horizon and refer to the sediments below the weathered zone as parent material. Classification is based on physical‚ chemical‚ and biological properties that can be observed and measured. Soils engineers think

1. INTRODUCTION The stability and life of any structure – a building‚ an airport‚ a road‚ dams‚ levees – depend on the stability‚ strength‚ and deformation of soils.[1] Unfortunately‚ due to the uncertainties of the world’s natural materials‚ the study of geotechnical engineering‚ and soil mechanics in particular‚ is both challenging and necessary. The following report is a compilation of the results acquired as a result of two laboratories performed by Group 13 at McMaster University on February

Abstract: The appropriate scope of a geotechnical investigation is a function of the type of proposed land use or project‚ the soil/ geologic conditions of the project site‚ and type of permit or approval sought. The geotechnical consultant is responsible for targeting the scope of their investigation‚ testing‚ analyses‚ and documentation to balance these factors. References are
