Three-Dimensional Consolidation of Soil | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Terzaghi’s theory of consolidation assumes that the expulsion of pore water during consolidation takes place in vertical direction alone. This is generally true for most of the cases, where the pervious layers, which form the drainage faces, are horizontal, located above and /or below the compressible soil layer. In some special cases, where vertical sand […]
How to Test Compaction of Soil? | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Compaction test is conducted in the laboratory to determine the relation between the dry density and the water content of the given soil compacted with standard compaction energy and to determine the OMC corresponding to the MDD. The OMC obtained from the laboratory compaction test will help in deciding the amount of water to be […]
