 LPTC
3003

OBJECTIVE:
• To expose the students to the fundamental knowledge on Soil physical parameters, Permeability – Compaction, Bearing Capacity and types and methods of soil survey and interpretative groupings

UNIT I

INTRODUCTION AND SOIL PHYSICS

9
Soil - definition - major components –Soil forming minerals and processes- soil profile -Physical properties - texture –density-porosity-consistence-colour- -specific gravity - capillary and non- capillary -plasticity. Soil air - soil temperature - soil water - classification of soil water- Movement soil water. Soil colloids – organic and inorganic matter-Ion exchange- pH – Plant nutrient availability

UNIT II

SOIL CLASSIFICATION AND SURVEY

9
Soil taxonomy – Soils of Tamil Nadu and India. Soil survey - types and methods of soil survey – Field mapping- mapping units - base maps -preparation of survey reports - concepts and uses - land capability classes and subclasses - soil suitability -Problem soils – Reclamation.


UNIT III

PHASE RELATIONSHIP AND SOIL COMPACTION

9
Phase relations- Gradation analysis- Atterberg Limits and Indices- Engineering Classification of soil – Soil compaction- factors affecting compaction- field and laboratory methods.

UNIT IV

ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SOIL

9
Shear strength of cohesive and cohesionless - Mohr-Coulomb failure theory- Measurement of shear strength, direct shear, Triaxial and vane shear test- -Permeability- Coefficient of Permeability-Darcy‟s law-field and lab methods - Assessment of seepage - Compressibility.

UNIT V

BEARING CAPACITY AND SLOPE STABILITY

9
Bearing capacity of soils - Factors affecting Bearing Capacity- Shallow foundations-Terzaghi‟s formula- BIS standards - Slope stability-Analysis of infinite and finite slopes- friction circle method- slope protection measures.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: At the end of the course the student will be able to understand
• Fundamental knowledge of soil physical parameters.
• The procedures involved in soil survey, soil classification.
• The phase relationship and soil compaction.
• Concepts of bearing capacity and slope stability.
