Upload NowIn this article we will discuss about how to determine the shear strength of soil. Shear Tests: The shear strength parameters (c, ɸ) are determined under definite test conditions. Depending upon the drainage conditions, three types of shear tests have been developed. They are: (i) Unconsolidated undrained test (or simply undrained test) UU- No drainage […]

How to Calculate Hydraulic Conductivity of Soil: Top 5 Methods | Soil Engineering
Article shared by : 
Some of the common methods for calculating Hydraulic Conductivity are described below: Hydraulic conductivity is the coefficient k in the Darcy’s law v = ki, where v is the velocity and i the hydraulic gradient. Hydraulic conductivity values can be determined in the laboratory using disturbed soil samples. As laboratory values are determined using disturbed […]
Soil Loss Estimation: Measurement and Universal Soil Loss Equation Formula
Article shared by :
Soil Loss Estimation: Measurement and Universal Soil Loss Equation! Soil losses occur from areas subjected to different types of erosion. The soil loss varies with the type of erosion and it is also influenced by all the factors that affect erosion. Along with the soil losses, loss of plant nutrients also occurs. Estimation of soil […]
