3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
Students are expected to understand the importance of site investigation,
planning of sub soil investigation, interpretation of investigated data to
design suitable foundation system.
UNIT - I SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE:S OF EXPLORATION 8
Scope and objectives, planning and exploration program, methods of exploration,
exploration for preliminary and detailed design, spacing and depth of bores, data
presentation. Geophysical exploration and interpretation, seismic and electrical
methods.
UNIT - II EXPLORATION TECHNIQUES 7
Methods of boring and drilling, non-displacement and displacement methods, drilling
in difficult subsoil conditions, stabilization of boreholes, bore logs.
UNIT - III SOIL SAMPLING 8
Sampling, disturbed and undisturbed soil sampling advanced sampling techniques,
offshore sampling, shallow penetration samplers, preservation and handling of
samples.
UNIT - IV FIELD TESTING IN SOIL EXPLORATION 12
Field tests, penetration tests, procedures and methods, data interpretation, Field
vane shear, Insitu shear and bore hole shear test, pressuremeter test, utility,
correction and data interpretation, plate load test–monotonic and cyclic; field
permeability test.
UNIT - V INSTRUMENTATION 10
