In basic sense, Soil improvement refers to the process of alteration of one or more properties of a soil to advance its engineering presentation. It can either be a momentary process to sanction the creation of a facility or may be a undeviating technique to improvise the performance of the completed facility. The end outcome […]

India being a huge landmass is especially inclined to seismic tremors. The Indian subcontinent is separated into five seismic zones concerning the seriousness of the quakes. The order of the zones has been finished by the geologist and researcher as right on time as 1956 when a 3-zone (Severe, Light and Minor danger) Seismic Zoning […]

Void Ratio Void ratio refers to the size of voids to the volume of solids. It is indicated e=Vv/Vs It is expressed as a decimal. Porosity It is the ratio of volume of voids to the total volume. It is indicated by ‘n’ n=Vv/V It is usually expressed as a percentage. 1/n=V/Vv= (Vv+vs)/Vv 1/n= 1+ (1/e) […]

Soils are the key asset supporting farming and ranger forestry, and additionally adding to the feel of a green planet. They are likewise a base from which minerals are extricated and to which strong squanders are arranged. Moreover, soils go about as a medium and channel for accumulation and development of water. By supporting plant […]

At the point when a soil mass is subjected to the compressive force, its volume diminishes. The property of the dirt because of which a decline in volume happens under compressive constrain is known as the compressibility of soil. This compressibility of soil can happen due to Compaction of strong particles and water in the […]

Compaction refers to the pressing of soil particles near to each other by automatic techniques. The air throughout compaction is barred from the empty space in the soil mass and as a result the mass density is greater than before. Compaction is carried out to perk up the engineering characteristics of the soil. Compaction of […]
