SF 9312 STRENGTH AND DEFORMATION BEHAVIOUR OF SOILS L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this course is to understand stress-strain
characteristics of soils, the mechanism of failure, the factors that affects the
shear strength and the various test procedures to determine the shear
strength.
UNIT I SHEAR STRENGTH OF COHESIONLESS SOILS 9 Shear strength of granular sols - Direct shear - Triaxial Testing- Drained and
untrained Stress-strain behaviour - Dilation, contraction and critical states -
Liquefaction and cyclic mobility of saturated sands. Factors influencing stress-strain
and shear strength.
UNIT II SHEAR STRENGTH OF COHESIVE SOILS 9 Shear strength of clays - Stress-strain behaviour - Triaxial testing and stress path
plotting - pore pressure parameter of Skempton and Henkel - Total stress and
effective stress approach - shear strength of partially saturated clay in terms of stress
state variables. Factors influencing stress-strain and shear strength.
UNIT III YIELD CRITERION 9 Concepts of yield and failure in soils- yield criteria of von Mises, Tresca and their
extended form, their applicability to soils - Detailed discussion of Mohr. - Coulomb
failure criterion.
UNIT IV STRESS - STRAIN LAWS FOR SOILS 9 Stress-strain laws for soils - hyperbolic law - Linear visco-elastic and Elasto -plastic
laws - yield functions, hardening law, flow rules and plastic strain computation -
Rheological models of Kelvin, Maxwell and Burger and Burger as applied to soils.
UNIT V CRITICAL STATE SOIL MECHANICS 9 Introduction to critical state soil mechanics - state boundary - surface- Roscoe and
Hvorslev's - A perspective only on mechanical behaviour of soils within the critical
state framework.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
