Download as PPTX, PDF17 likes32,344 views
The document discusses particle size distribution curves and coefficients used to characterize soils. Curve A represents a well-graded soil with good representation of all particle sizes, while Curve B is uniformly graded with most particles being the same size. The Uniformity Coefficient (Cu) measures the particle size range as the ratio of the D60 and D10 sizes, with well-graded soil having a Cu over 4 for gravel and 6 for sand. The Coefficient of Curvature (Cc) represents the shape of the curve and must be between 1-3 for well-graded soil. D10, D30, and D60 refer to particle sizes where 10%, 30%, and 60% of the sample is finer, respectively.

Permeability and factors affecting permeability 
Permeability and factors affecting permeability roshan mankhair
油
Permeability is the property of soil that allows water to flow through it, denoted by 'K'. Factors that affect permeability include grain size, properties of pore water, temperature, void ratio, stratification, entrapped air/organics, adsorbed water, degree of saturation, shape of particles, and structure of the soil mass. Permeability generally increases with larger grain size, higher temperatures, and void ratios, and decreases with stratified layers perpendicular to flow, entrapped air/organics, adsorbed water, partial saturation, angular particles, and dispersed soil structures.Compaction
CompactionRavindranath Chandra
油
Compaction is the densification of soil through mechanical means such as rolling, ramming, or vibration to reduce porosity and increase dry density. Laboratory compaction tests determine the optimum water content and maximum dry density for a soil through controlled compaction and varying water content. Standard Proctor and Modified Proctor tests involve compacting soil in layers in a mold using a specified hammer weight and drop height. Field compaction equipment includes smooth drum rollers, pneumatic tired rollers, sheep-foot rollers, and rammers or vibrators. The dry density achieved depends on factors like water content, compactive effort, soil type, and additives used.Soil Compaction

ppt of consolidation and settlement of soilSAMRAT CHODHURY
油
The document discusses soil mechanics topics related to consolidation and settlement. It covers three types of settlement (immediate, primary consolidation, and secondary consolidation). It also explains the fundamental concept of consolidation using a piston-spring model and describes how a one-dimensional consolidation test (oedometer test) is conducted in the laboratory to determine soil compressibility.Consolidation Properties
Consolidation PropertiesSanchari Halder
油
Consolidation is the process where water drains from saturated soil pores, transferring the load from water to soil particles and causing volume change. There are three types of consolidation: immediate, primary, and secondary. One-dimensional consolidation assumes vertical drainage, making the process primarily vertical. Terzaghi's theory of one-dimensional consolidation models this using parameters like permeability, compressibility, and effective stress. The coefficient of consolidation describes the rate of compression, while compression and swelling indices characterize the void ratio-effective stress relationship. The oedometer test experimentally determines consolidation properties from soil specimen compression under incremental loads.Consolidation

1. The document discusses consolidation in soils, including terminology, oedometer tests, preconsolidation pressure, and Terzaghi's theory of one-dimensional consolidation.
2. Key points include that consolidation is the decrease in soil volume due to increased loading, and includes primary consolidation through pore water expulsion and secondary consolidation via soil molecule rearrangement.
3. Oedometer tests are used to determine soil compressibility and preconsolidation pressure, the maximum past effective stress.
4. Terzaghi's theory assumes consolidation is one-dimensional, and that excess pore pressures dissipate over time according to a consolidation equation.Load carrying capacity of piles
Load carrying capacity of pilesLatif Hyder Wadho

- There are four main methods to measure the load carrying capacity of piles: static methods, dynamic formulas, in-situ penetration tests, and pile load tests.
- The ultimate load capacity (Qu) of an individual pile or pile group equals the sum of the point resistance (Qp) at the pile tip and the shaft resistance (Qs) developed along the pile shaft through friction between the soil and pile.
- Meyerhof's method is commonly used to calculate Qp in sand based on the effective vertical pressure at the pile tip multiplied by the bearing capacity factor Nq.Expansive soil

This document provides information on two soil classification systems: the AASHTO and USCS systems. The AASHTO system classifies soils into eight groups (A-1 through A-8) based on particle size distribution, liquid limit, and plasticity index. The USCS system classifies soils into four categories (coarse-grained, fine-grained, organic, and peat) based on grain size, plasticity, and compressibility. Both systems use laboratory tests like sieve analysis and Atterberg limits to determine the soil classification group. The document describes the classification criteria and symbols used in detail for each system.Quick sand condation
Quick sand condationEngr Khalil Dawar ( Gold Medalist )
油
Quick sand conditions occur in cohesionless soils like sand and fine gravel when upward seepage flow reduces the effective pressure in the soil to zero. This causes the soil grains to lose their shear strength and bearing capacity, violently agitating as the soil behaves like a liquid. It occurs when the hydraulic gradient reaches a critical value that equalizes the upward seepage pressure and downward pressure of the submerged soil weight. Cohesive soils and gravel soils do not experience this condition because clays retain some shear strength even at zero effective pressure, while gravel soils require higher seepage pressures to exceed their self-weight.Boussinesq'S theory

Earthen Dams
Earthen DamsGAURAV. H .TANDON

Earthen dams are constructed using natural materials like clay, sand, gravel and rock. They are designed based on principles of soil mechanics. There are two main types - homogeneous and zoned. Zoned dams have an impervious core and outer shells. Components include the core, shells, rock toe, pitching, berms and drains. Stability requires the seepage line be within the downstream slope with minimum 2m cover. Common causes of failure are hydraulic (overtopping, erosion), seepage (piping through core or foundations) and structural issues like cracking. Proper design and construction can prevent these failures.4 permeability and seepage

The Proctor compaction test is used to determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of soils. It involves compacting soil samples in a mold using a standardized compactive effort at different moisture contents. The dry density is measured for each sample to create a compaction curve showing the relationship between dry density and moisture content. The peak of the curve indicates the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density, which represent the conditions when the soil is most dense and has the highest load-bearing capacity. The test is important for determining how to properly compact soils in the field.Soil slope stability

Stress distribution in soils can be caused by self-weight of soil layers and surface loads. Stresses increase with depth due to self-weight and decrease radially from applied surface loads. Boussinesq developed equations to determine stresses below concentrated, line, strip and rectangular loads by representing them as point loads and using influence factors. Newmark proposed charts to simplify determining stresses below uniformly loaded areas of different shapes. Approximate methods like the 2:1 method also exist but are less accurate.pre consolidation pressure

This document discusses preconsolidation pressure in soils. It defines preconsolidation pressure as the maximum effective vertical overburden stress a soil sample has experienced in the past. Though it cannot be directly measured, it can be estimated using methods like analyzing the curvature of a consolidation curve. A soil is considered normally consolidated if the current vertical effective stress is equal to or greater than the preconsolidation pressure. The document also lists factors that can cause a soil to approach its preconsolidation pressure, such as changes in total stress, pore water pressure, soil structure, or environmental conditions.

The document discusses compaction tests for soil. It defines compaction as packing soil particles more closely together through dynamic loading, reducing air voids without changing water content. Compaction improves soil engineering properties like strength and permeability. Laboratory tests establish relationships between dry density and moisture content under controlled conditions. The standard Proctor test uses a 2.6 kg hammer and the modified Proctor test uses a 4.89 kg hammer, transmitting more energy to achieve higher compaction. Both tests yield curves showing maximum dry density occurs at optimum moisture content.Grain size analysis of soil by sieve and hydrometer

This document describes procedures for performing a grain size analysis of soil using sieve and hydrometer methods. The sieve analysis is used to determine the distribution of coarser particles, while the hydrometer method analyzes finer particles. The sample soil was found to have a uniformity coefficient of 2.5 and curvature coefficient of 1.62, classifying it as a poorly graded gravel soil. The analysis involves separating the soil into fractions using sieves, measuring particle sizes below 0.075mm using a hydrometer, and calculating coefficients to characterize the soil gradation and type.Darcy's law

The document discusses permeability, which is the property of soil that allows water to flow through it. Permeability depends on factors like particle size, void ratio, and degree of saturation. Methods to determine the coefficient of permeability include constant head tests, falling head tests, and pumping tests. Darcy's law states that the rate of water flow through soil is proportional to the hydraulic gradient, where the coefficient of proportionality is the permeability. The law was established by Henry Darcy based on experiments in 1856 and is valid for laminar flow through saturated soils.Lecture 8 consolidation and compressibility

This document discusses consolidation settlement, which occurs when saturated soil is loaded and squeezed, causing water to be expelled over time (years depending on soil permeability) and the soil volume to decrease. As water flows out, the soil settles vertically in direct proportion to the volume decrease. Two methods estimate consolidation settlement: using the coefficient of volume compressibility (mv) or the void ratio-effective stress (e-log'v) relationship. Practical applications include using prefabricated vertical drains to accelerate consolidation in clay soils.Soil Mechanics

Preface: The ReGenX Generator innovation operates with a US Patented Frequency Dependent Load Current Delay which delays the creation and storage of created Electromagnetic Field Energy around the exterior of the generator coil. The result is the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy performs any magnitude of Positive Electro-Mechanical Work at infinite efficiency on the generator's Rotating Magnetic Field, increasing its Kinetic Energy and increasing the Kinetic Energy of an EV or ICE Vehicle to any magnitude without requiring any Externally Supplied Input Energy. In Electricity Generation applications the ReGenX Generator innovation now allows all electricity to be generated at infinite efficiency requiring zero Input Energy, zero Input Energy Cost, while producing zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions, zero Air Pollution and zero Nuclear Waste during the Electricity Generation Phase. In Electric Motor operation the ReGen-X Quantum Motor now allows any magnitude of Work to be performed with zero Electric Input Energy.
Demonstration Protocol: The demonstration protocol involves three prototypes;
1. Protytpe #1, demonstrates the ReGenX Generator's Load Current Time Delay when compared to the instantaneous Load Current Sine Wave for a Conventional Generator Coil.
2. In the Conventional Faraday Generator operation the created Electromagnetic Field Energy performs Negative Work at infinite efficiency and it reduces the Kinetic Energy of the system.
3. The Magnitude of the Negative Work / System Kinetic Energy Reduction (in Joules) is equal to the Magnitude of the created Electromagnetic Field Energy (also in Joules).
4. When the Conventional Faraday Generator is placed On-Load, Negative Work is performed and the speed of the system decreases according to Lenz's Law of Induction.
5. In order to maintain the System Speed and the Electric Power magnitude to the Loads, additional Input Power must be supplied to the Prime Mover and additional Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft.
6. For example, if 100 Watts of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >100 Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the Prime Mover.
7. If 1 MW of Electric Power is delivered to the Load by the Faraday Generator, an additional >1 MW Watts of Mechanical Input Power must be supplied to the Generator's Drive Shaft by the Prime Mover.
8. Generally speaking the ratio is 2 Watts of Mechanical Input Power to every 1 Watt of Electric Output Power generated.
9. The increase in Drive Shaft Mechanical Input Power is provided by the Prime Mover and the Input Energy Source which powers the Prime Mover.
10. In the Heins ReGenX Generator operation the created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy performs Positive Work at infinite efficiency and it increases the Kinetic Energy of the system.

Optimal use of resources, including energy, is one of the most important principles in modern and sustainable agricultural systems. Exergy analysis and life cycle assessment were used to study the efficient use of inputs, energy consumption reduction, and various environmental effects in the corn production system in Lorestan province, Iran. The required data were collected from farmers in Lorestan province using random sampling. The Cobb-Douglas equation and data envelopment analysis were utilized for modeling and optimizing cumulative energy and exergy consumption (CEnC and CExC) and devising strategies to mitigate the environmental impacts of corn production. The Cobb-Douglas equation results revealed that electricity, diesel fuel, and N-fertilizer were the major contributors to CExC in the corn production system. According to the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) results, the average efficiency of all farms in terms of CExC was 94.7% in the CCR model and 97.8% in the BCC model. Furthermore, the results indicated that there was excessive consumption of inputs, particularly potassium and phosphate fertilizers. By adopting more suitable methods based on DEA of efficient farmers, it was possible to save 6.47, 10.42, 7.40, 13.32, 31.29, 3.25, and 6.78% in the exergy consumption of diesel fuel, electricity, machinery, chemical fertilizers, biocides, seeds, and irrigation, respectively.

Particle size distribution curve
- 2. Curve A- well graded soil (good representations of all type particle) Curve B- uniformly graded soil (most of the particle are in same size) Curve c- well graded sand Curve E- gap graded soil (some intermediate particle are missing)
- 3. Uniformity coefficient (Cu): Uniformity coefficient is a measure of particle-size range and is given by the ratio of D60 and D10 sizes: Cu = D60 /D10 Uniformly grade soil, Cu is nearly unity. For well graded soil , cu > 4 for gravel. cu = 6 for sand.
- 4. COEFFICIENT OF CURVATURE (cc): The shape of particle-size curve is represented by the Coefficient of curvature cc, given by Cc = (D30 )2/(D10 x D60 ) For well graded soil , cc must between 1 to 3.
- 6. For coarse grained soil, certain particle size such as D 10 ,D 30 and D 60 . D 10 Represents a size, in mm such that 10%of particles are finer than this size. It is called as effective diameter or effective size. D 30 Represents a size, in mm such that 30%of particles are finer than this size. D 60 Represents a size, in mm such that 60%of particles are finer than this size.
