The detailed syllabus for Soil Mechanics B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows<\/p>\n
OBJECTIVES:<\/strong><\/p>\n To impart knowledge on behavior and the performance of saturated soil. At the end of this\u00a0course student attains adequate knowledge in assessing both physical and engineering\u00a0behaviour of soils, mechanism of stress transfer in two-phase systems and stability\u00a0analysis of slopes.<\/p>\n UNIT I : SOIL CLASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0[9 hours] UNIT II : SOIL WATER AND WATER FLOW<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0[9 hours] UNIT III : STRESS DISTRIBUTION AND SETTLEMENT<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0[9 hours] Download iStudy<\/a> Android<\/a> App for complete Anna University syllabus, results, timetables and all other updates.
