The stress history of soil is a critical concept that plays a significant role in understanding the behaviour of soils under various conditions. It refers to the record of stresses that a particular soil deposit has experienced over time, including both natural and man-induced stresses.

Normally Consolidated Soil And Overconsolidated Soil

Soil is a dynamic material that experiences various stresses and loads throughout its history. These loads can come from natural sources, such as deposition and glaciers, or from human activities, such as construction activities. Also these loads get removed from the soil by natural and

Compression Index And Coefficient Of Compressibility And Void Ratio Vs Effective Stress Curve

Heavy buildings or structures make the ground compress a little over time due to their weight. This compression of soil is known as the Settlement of soil. Total settlement of the soil has primarily three components. Immediate Settlement Consolidation Settlement or Prim

Consolidation Test And Time Settlement Curve

Heavy buildings or structures make the ground compress a little over time due to their weight. This compression of soil is known as Settlement of soil. Total settlement of the soil has primarily three components. Immediate Settlement Consolidation Settlement or Primary

Terzaghi Spring Analogy And Mechanics Of Consolidation

When heavy buildings or structures are built on the ground, they can make the ground compress a little over time due to their weight. This compression of soil, caused by factors like the weight of the building, is known as Settlement of soil. It has been described in detail in our previous post. &n

Settlement Of Soil

When we press down on a soft pillow that we use to rest our head on, it compresses and goes down a bit. Similarly, when heavy buildings or structures are built on the ground, they can make the ground compress or sink down a little over time due to their weight. This sinking down or compression of so

Compaction Equipments And Methods Of Compaction Of Soil In The Field

We make the soil base stable and strong Before constructing any structure on it. It is done by increasing soil’s density by decreasing the volume of air voids in it and the process of doing so is called Compaction. Compaction is measured using Dry Density or Dry Unit weight of Soil. Higher th

Factors Affecting Compaction Of Soil

We make the soil base stable and strong Before constructing any structure on it. And the process of doing so is called Compaction. Compaction is done by increasing soil’s density by decreasing the volume of air voids in it. It is done using heavy machinery and equipments.

Bulking Of Sand

Before constructing any structure on the soil, we make the base stable and strong so that it does not settle in large amounts with time. This process of making the soil base solid before the construction of structure is called Compaction. Compaction is usually done with heavy machinery and

Modified Proctor Test

Before constructing any structure on the soil, we make the base stable and strong so that it does not settle in large amounts with time. This process of making the soil base solid before the construction of structure is called compaction. In the process of compaction mechanical energy is ap
