SF 9313 SOIL PROPERTIES AND BEHAVIOUR L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the course the student gains knowledge on the various factors
governing the Engineering behaviour of soils and the suitability of soils for
various Geotechnical Engineering applications.
UNIT I SOIL DEPOSITS AND CLAY MINERALS 8 Introduction – formation of soils – various soil deposits and their engineering
suitability – Genesis of clay minerals – classification and identification – Anion and
Cation exchange capacity of clays – specific surface area – bonding in clays.
UNIT II PHYSICAL AND PHYSIO-CHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF SOILS 10 Physical and physio – chemical behaviour of soils – diffused double layer theory –
computation of double layer distance – effect of ion concentration, ionic valency,
dielectric constant, temperature on double layer – stern layer – attractive and
repulsive forces in clays – soil structure – soil water – mechanism of soil – water
interactions.
UNIT III SWELLING AND SHRINKAGE BEHAVIOUR 10 Swelling and shrinkage behaviour of soils – problems associated – factors
influencing swell – shrink characteristics – swell pressure determination – osmotic
swell pressure – soil fabric and measurement – sensitivity, thixotrophy – stress
history – soil compaction – soil suction – determination of suction potential.
UNIT IV COMPRESSIBILITY, PERMEABILITY AND 10
SHEAR STRENGTH BEHAVIOUR Compressibility and shear strength behaviour of soils and clays – mechanisms
involved – liquefaction potential – Factors governing compressibility, shear strength
and permeability of soils.
6
UNIT V CONDUCTION PHENOMENA AND PREDICTION OF SOIL 7
BEHAVIOUR Conduction in soils – coupled flows – electrical, chemical , hydraulic and thermal
flows in soils – consolidation by electro osmosis – prediction of engineering
behaviour of soils – empirical correlations and their applicability.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
