GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

-
is the subdiscipline of civil engineering that involves natural materials

found close to the surface of the earth.

-Itincludes the application the


of
principles of soil mechanics and rock

mechanics to the design of foundations, retaining structures, and earth

structures.

Soil mechanics
-
is the branch of science that deals with the study of the physical
properties of soil and the behavior of soil masses subjected to various

types of forces.

Soil
-
is defined as the uncemented aggregate of mineral grains and decayed

organic matter (solid particles) with liquid and gas in the empty spaces
between the solid particles.
-
It is used as a construction material in various civil engineering projects,
and it supports structural foundations.

-Thus, civil engineers must study the properties of


soil, such as its origin,

grain-size distribution, ability to drain water, compressibility, shear


strength,
and load-bearing capacity.

Soil-particle size
-
soils generally are calledgravel, sand, silt, or clay, depending on the

predominant size of particles within the soil.

Classes of soils
> coarse soils -

gravel and sand

> Finer soils -

silt, clay, mud, and colloidal material

Mechanical analysis of soil:
-
is the determination of the size range particles present
of in a soil,

expressed as a percentage of the total dry weight.

Sieve analysis
-

consisting of shaking the soil sample through a set of sieves that

have progressively smaller openings

Juanday
To conduct a sieve analysis:
1) must first the soil break lumps into
One
over-dry and then all

small particles.
soil of sieves with of
2)The is then shaken through a stack
openings
decreasing size from top to bottom

3)After the soil is shaken, the mass of soil retained on each sieve is

determined. The total mass of the soil is determined.

4)Determine the cumulative mass of the soil retained above each sieve

and the mass of soil passing the sieve.

Mass of Soil Passing the Sieve = total mass - cumulative mass retained
5)The percent of soil passing the sieve (or percentfiner) is solved.

Percent finer = Mass of Soil Passing the Sieve / total mass


the percent finer for each sieve is calculated, the calculations are

Once

plottedon semi-logarithmic graph paper with percentfiner as the

ordinate (arithmetic scale) and sieve opening size as the abscissa

Clogarithmic scale). This plot is referred to as the particle-size

Classification of soil
Two
major categories which
into the classification systems
developed in the past can be grouped

1)The textural classification is based on the particle


-

size distribution

of the percent of sand, silt, and clay-size fractions present in

a
given soil.

2)
The other major category is based on the
engineering behavior

of soil and takes into consideration the particle


-

size distribution

and the plasticity (i.e., LL and PI).


Two
major classification systems that are in extensive use now:

a)
AASHTO

b)USOS

Textural classification

divided soils clay categories


Table 2.3 into
gravel, sand, silt, and

on the basis of particle size. In mostcases, natural soils are mixtures

of particles from several size groups. In the textural classification

system, the soils are named after their principal components, such as

sandy clay, silty clay, and so forth.

Effective stress in the zone of capillary rise

CAPILLARY ACTION

is the a liquid flowing in narrow space withoutthe


process a
-
of

assistance of, or even in opposition to, any external forces like gravity.
capillary action can be defined as the ascension of
liquids through slim
-

tube, cylinder or
permeable substance due adhesive
to and cohesive forces

interacting between the liquid and the surface.

CAPILLARY RISE IN SOILS

The continuous void spaces in soils can behave as bundles of capillary tubes

of variable cross section. Because of surface tension force, water may rise above

the phreatic surface.

Permeability of soil
Soils
* are permeable due to the existence of interconnected voids through
which water can flow from points of
high energy to points of low energy.

parameters of of
One of the
major physical soil thatcontrols the rate
*
a

seepage through is
it
hydraulic conductivity, otherwise known as the coefficient

of permeability.

Aydraulic conductivity
* is generally expressed in cm/sec or m/sec in SI units.

The hydraulic conductivity


of soils depends on several factors:fluid viscosity,

pire-size distribution, grain-size distribution, void ratio, roughness of mineral

particles, and degree of soil saturation.
