Soil Mechanics Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech third year second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Soil Mechanics B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year II Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code:CE603PC 4/0/0/4
Pre-Requisites: Engineering Geology, Applied Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics
Course Objectives: To enable the student to study the properties of soil and to determine the behaviour soil under various conditions and loads.
Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Understand the mechanism Behaviour of Soil for different loads
- and from Soil Condition will be able to determine properties of soil
UNIT – I: Introduction: Soil formation and structure – moisture content – Mass- volume relationship – Relative density. Index Properties Of Soils: Grain size analysis – Sieve–
UNIT – II: Permeability: Soil water – capillary rise – flow of water through soils – Darcy’s law permeability – Factors affecting permeability – laboratory determination of coefficient of permeability –Permeability of layered soils – In-situ permeability tests (Pumping in & Pumping out test). Effective Stress & Seepage Through Soils: Total, neutral and effective stress – principle of effective stress – quick sand condition – Seepage through soils – Flownets: Characteristics and Uses.
UNIT – III: Stress Distribution In Soils: Boussinesq’s and Westergaard’s theories for point load, uniformly loaded circular and rectangular areas, pressure bulb, variation of vertical stress under point load along the vertical and horizontal plane, and Newmark’s influence chart for irregular areas. Compaction: Mechanism of compaction – factors affecting compaction effects of compaction on soil properties – Field compaction Equipment – compaction quality control.
