IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF SOIL AND ROCK 1. 13. 14. The Coefficient of uniformity, WATER CONTENT, BULK DENSITY, Cu = D60/D10 w =Ww / Ws = W/V = Gs ( 1+w ) w /(1 + e) = (Gs + Sr e ) w /(1 + e) HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES OF SOIL AND ROCK 29. DISCHARGE VELOCITY, q =VA=kiA , discharge, v =ki ; k = Coefficient of permeability i = h/L head loss over length of flow path V= ki = q/A = q/Ta=Q/At, Confined Aquifer 40. Partially Penetrating Coefficient of Permeability, k = [2.303 q Log10(r1/r2)] / 2D(h1/h2)G, G = W/D [(1 +7 (rw/2W) cos(W/2D)] W= Partially Penetrating depth rw = Radius of the well EFFECTIVE STRESS AND SEEPAGE PRESSURE 42. 43. 44. No flow condition, Total vertical pressure, Pore water pressure, Effective vertical pressure, p = H0 w + z sat u w = H0 w + z w = p- uw = z(sat -w) = Z z = certain depth of the soil

Settlement,

S= Cc H [log(p0+p)/ p0] / (1+ e0), For p0= pc, normal consolidated clay p0= Effective overberden pressure pc = Preconsolidation pressure

SHALLOW FOUNDATION FOOTING AND RAFT 87. Ultimate Bearing Capacity, qd= cNc +DfNq + 0.5BN For Continuous footing C= Cohesion = Unit wt. Of soil Df= Depth of foundation B = Width of foundation N,Nc, Nq = Bearing capacity factor Retaining wall Factor of Safety, F.S= (d 2t tan ) /(h /'v)A, k= h /'v A= Area of surface of the wall, t=thickness of wall, d=required cantilever or penetration depth of the wall
