The document discusses the effect of water table on soil bearing capacity. It states that a water table located within the width of a foundation's base will reduce the soil's bearing capacity. The bearing capacity equation is provided, along with factors to account for water table depth. If the water table is below the base width, it has no effect on bearing capacity. A case study finds that for a given project, the water table depth exceeds the foundation depth, so there is no water table effect on soil bearing capacity. In summary, the proximity of the water table can impact a soil's ability to support structural loads, and established methods account for water table levels in bearing capacity calculations.

Pile foundations are commonly used when soil conditions require deep foundations, such as with compressible, waterlogged, or deep soils. There are various types of piles classified by function (e.g. end bearing, friction, tension), material (e.g. concrete, timber, steel), and installation method (e.g. driven, cast-in-place). The load carrying capacity of piles can be determined through dynamic formulas, static formulas, load tests, or penetration tests. Factors like pile length, structure characteristics, material availability, loading types, and costs must be considered for proper pile selection.

This document summarizes the procedures for conducting a pile load test to determine the load carrying capacity of a pile. The test involves installing a test pile between two anchor piles and applying incremental loads through a hydraulic jack while monitoring settlement. Loads are applied until the pile reaches twice its safe load or a specified settlement. A load-settlement curve is plotted to determine the ultimate load and safe load based on settlement criteria. The test provides values for maximum load, permissible working load, and pile settlement under different loads.

Pneumatic caissons allow work under water but require complex machinery. Box caissons have a lower construction cost but the foundation base cannot be inspected.
Donald Burmister developed the two-layer theory in 1943 to model flexible pavement systems. The theory considers the pavement as an elastic layer resting on a semi-infinite elastic subgrade. It assumes the layers are homogeneous, isotropic, and linearly elastic. Stress and deflection at the surface decrease with increasing modulus ratio between the top layer and subgrade. Burmister provided charts to calculate the deflection factor based on modulus ratio and depth ratio, which can then be used to compute surface deflection. The two-layer theory models how layers above the subgrade reduce stress and deflections compared to considering just a single subgrade layer.

Lacey's regime theory states that the dimensions and slope of a channel are uniquely determined by the discharge, silt load, and erodibility of the soil material. A channel is in regime if there is no scouring or silting. Lacey proposed equations to calculate parameters like velocity, slope, and dimensions based on variables like discharge, silt factor, and side slopes. The theory has limitations as the conditions of true regime cannot be achieved and parameters like silt grade/load are not clearly defined. Lacey also developed shock theory accounting for form resistance due to bed irregularities.
Consolidation is the process where water drains from saturated soil pores, transferring the load from water to soil particles and causing volume change. There are three types of consolidation: immediate, primary, and secondary. One-dimensional consolidation assumes vertical drainage, making the process primarily vertical. Terzaghi's theory of one-dimensional consolidation models this using parameters like permeability, compressibility, and effective stress. The coefficient of consolidation describes the rate of compression, while compression and swelling indices characterize the void ratio-effective stress relationship. The oedometer test experimentally determines consolidation properties from soil specimen compression under incremental loads.

1) Structures transfer loads to soils through foundations, compressing soils to a depth of about four times the foundation width. This soil compression leads to settlement of the structure.
2) There are three types of settlement: immediate elastic settlement, primary consolidation settlement as water is expelled from saturated clays, and secondary consolidation settlement from plastic soil adjustments over time.
3) Consolidation is the time-dependent settlement of fine-grained soils like clay as water is slowly drained from the soil pores due to low permeability, occurring over hundreds of years under loads.
1) When a saturated soil experiences an increase in stress, excess pore water pressure develops. In sandy soils, this pressure dissipates quickly due to high permeability, whereas in clayey soils it dissipates slowly due to low permeability.
2) Terzaghi's theory of one-dimensional consolidation models how excess pore pressure dissipates over time through drainage. The rate of consolidation depends on factors like soil permeability, compressibility, layer thickness, and drainage conditions.
3) Terzaghi derived a differential equation to describe the change in excess pore pressure with time and depth. The coefficient of consolidation (cv) quantifies the rate of consolidation, with higher cv indicating faster drainage.
This document provides an introduction to soil mechanics. It defines key terms like soil, soil mechanics, and phase diagram. It discusses the important applications of soil mechanics in foundations, pavement design, underground structures, earth retaining structures, embankments, and earth dams. Properties of soil like bulk unit weight, dry unit weight, saturated unit weight, submerged unit weight and specific gravity are explained.

Textbooks and the father of soil mechanics Karl Terzaghi are cited.
soil liquefaction and quicksand conditionazlan ahmad
Soil liquefaction occurs when water-saturated soils lose strength during earthquakes or other vibrations, causing the soil particles to separate and behave like a liquid. This happens because earthquake shaking increases water pressure between soil particles. Buildings and structures can sink or collapse into liquefied soils. Techniques to prevent liquefaction include compacting soils or setting deep foundations below unstable layers. Quick sand conditions occur when upward seepage flow reduces effective stress in loose soils like sand, causing a floating effect with little weight-bearing capacity.
The document discusses effective stress and pore water pressure in soils. It defines effective stress as the pressure transmitted through grain-to-grain contact points, which is responsible for changes in soil volume. Pore water pressure tries to separate grains and increases soil volume. Experiments show that effective stress increases when water flows downward through saturated soil, and decreases when flow is upward. The critical hydraulic gradient is the point when effective stress is zero and soil can experience a "quick" condition. Capillary rise causes water to rise above the water table in small soil pores due to surface tension.
This document discusses consolidation and compaction of soils. It defines consolidation as the compression of saturated soil under steady pressure, caused by the expulsion of water from voids. Compaction is defined as the compression of unsaturated soils due to expulsion of air through dynamic methods like rolling and tamping. The document outlines the stages of consolidation as initial, primary, and secondary consolidation. It describes Terzaghi's spring-piston analogy to explain primary consolidation and discusses conducting consolidation tests in a consolidometer to study a soil's compressibility.
The document discusses stresses in soil. It defines total stress, neutral stress (pore water pressure), and effective stress. Total stress is the stress from overburden soil and applied loads. Neutral stress is the pressure of water in soil voids. Effective stress is carried by soil particles and influences shear strength. The document also covers Boussinesq's method for estimating stresses in soil from point loads, assuming the soil is elastic, homogeneous, isotropic, and semi-infinite.
This document provides information on index properties, relationships, and tests for soils. It discusses topics like phase diagrams, basic terms and definitions, functional relationships, determination of index properties, and relative density. Phase diagrams for soils that are partially dry/saturated and fully dry/saturated are presented. Key terms like water content, bulk unit weight, dry unit weight, saturated unit weight, specific gravity, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation are defined. Relationships between these terms and how they relate to volume and mass are also derived. Common methods for determining index properties like water content, specific gravity, and dry density are described.
1) Water influences various behaviors of soil through physical and chemical properties like capillary rise, consolidation, dilatancy, fluctuation of groundwater table, compaction, apparent cohesion, and bulking of sand.
2) Chemically, water's high dielectric constant allows it to readily dissolve ions and undergo dissociation into protons and hydroxide ions, influencing processes like mineral weathering.
3) The document discusses various physical and chemical behaviors of water that control functioning in soils like influencing volume changes during compression, shear strength changes, and biochemical processes through water as a reaction medium.

Pile foundations are used when there is a compressible or weak upper soil layer, horizontal forces are present, expansive soils are present, uplifting forces are present, or soil erosion could occur. Pile foundations provide support below the weak upper layers of soil and transfer loads directly to stronger deeper soils or bedrock.
Floating foundations are used when soil is too soft to support conventional foundations. A floating foundation has a volume such that its weight equals the weight of the structure above it, so the soil below bears the same weight as before excavation. Floating foundations were developed in the 19th century for tall buildings in Chicago's wet soil. They work by obeying Archimedes' principle, buoyed up like boats. Examples include raft foundations and pile foundations supported only by skin friction in soft soil.
The document summarizes the plate bearing test procedure. The plate bearing test is conducted to determine the bearing capacity and settlement of soil under shallow foundations or temporary structures. It involves loading a steel plate placed at the foundation level with incremental loads and measuring the corresponding settlement. The test is continued until a settlement of 25mm or more is reached. The results from multiple plate bearing tests are presented in tables showing the pressure, initial and final dial readings, settlement and cumulative settlement at each load increment. The safe bearing capacity of the soil in the test area was determined based on the permissible settlement of 25mm from the plate bearing tests.
This document summarizes liquefaction, which is when saturated or partially saturated soil loses strength and stiffness during an earthquake, behaving like a liquid. It discusses objectives to understand liquefaction and susceptible soils. Methods to reduce liquefaction include avoiding susceptible soils or designing resistant foundations. Shallow foundations need uniform movement while deep foundations must resist lateral loads. Liquefaction can damage bridges and tilt buildings on piles. Solutions include consolidating and dewatering sediment layers. A case study examines soil types affected in Gujarat's 2001 earthquake.
This document summarizes the different types of settlement that can occur in foundations, including immediate or elastic settlement, primary consolidation settlement, secondary consolidation settlement, and settlement due to other causes like erosion, temperature changes, or vibrations. It also discusses how to calculate design loads on foundations from dead load, live load, wind load, snow load, earth pressure, water pressure, and earthquake loads. The total settlement is calculated as the sum of immediate, primary consolidation, and secondary consolidation components.
1. The document discusses Karl Terzaghi's principle of effective stress, which states that the stress on a soil is equal to the total stress minus the pore water pressure.
2. It then provides objectives and scope for a case study on evaluating Terzaghi's theory through consolidation tests. Materials used include remolded soil samples from various locations.
3. The document outlines Terzaghi's assumptions for his consolidation theory and provides his equations for calculating bearing capacity of strip, square, and circular footings. It also briefly reviews several literature sources analyzing consolidation and settlement prediction.
This document summarizes different types of foundation failures. It reviews load transfer failures which occur when the foundation is unable to properly distribute the load of the structure into the soil. Design and construction errors are also discussed as a cause of failures. Lateral movements in the soil due to removal of side support or excessive overburden can result in lateral failures. Different failure modes such as floating foundations and effects of vibration are also reviewed through case studies. Proper identification of failure causes is important to provide suitable remedial measures.
Ground engineering solutions for infrastructure projectsAbhishek Mangukiya
This document discusses case studies on ground engineering solutions for infrastructure projects. It provides examples of how geotechnical challenges were addressed on different projects, including an industrial power plant built on abandoned fly ash deposits, a chemical plant built on soft soils in Kutch, India, a multi-story building in NCR, India, and wind turbines in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Ground improvement techniques like vibro stone columns, deep soil mixing, and prefabricated vertical drains were used to provide stable foundations that allowed construction to proceed in a cost-effective manner while meeting structural requirements and mitigating issues like settlement. The case studies demonstrate how evaluating soil conditions and selecting the appropriate ground engineering approach can enable successful infrastructure projects.
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

Online train ticket booking system project.pdfKamal Acharya
Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

2. INTRODUCTION
The position of ground water has a significant effect
on the bearing capacity of soil.
Presence of water table at a depth less than the width
of the foundation from the foundation bottom will
reduce the bearing capacity of the soil.
Lesser the depth, harder it is to build a strong
foundation as the soil will have low bearing capacity.
As speaking of bearing capacity, it is the maximum
stress which a particular soil can withstand without
failing.
3. EFFECT OF WATER TABLE ON
BEARING CAPACITY
The change in moisture content of the soil affects the
properties of the soil. Similarly, if soil gets
submerged its ability to support the load coming over
its unit area is reduced when the water table is above
the base of the footing.
the submerged weight is used for the soil below the
water table for computing the surcharge.
The water table corrections are applied to determine
the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil.
4. The bearing capacity equation incorporating the ground water table correction
factors is given below.
Where qu = Ultimate bearing capacity of soil in
c = Cohesion of soil in
Nc, Nq, N? are Therzaghi’s bearing capacity constants.
Df= depth of foundation in meters
B = Width of the foundation in meters
Rw1 and Rw2 are water table correction factors
The water table correction factors can be obtained from the equations given
below.
5. Case 1
Water table located above the base of footing.
Zw
Rw1=0.5[1+Zw1/D]
Rw2=0.5
6. Case 2
If the water table located at a depth below base
of footing
Zw2
Zw
Rw1=1
Rw2=0.5[1+Zw2/b]
7. Case 3
Water table located at a depth equal to or
greater than width (D1>=B) OF footing below the
base of footing
D1
Rw1=Rw2=1
IN THIS CASE NO EFFECT OF WATER
TABLE ON BEARING CAPACITY OF
SOIL
8. IS CODE METHOD
IS :6403-1981 gives the equation for the net ultimate
bearing capacity which is similar to one proposed by
vesic
Qnu = c Nc Sc Dc Ic +q(Nq-1)Sq Dq Iq + 0.5B ý N ý s ý d ý
i ý w
Where D=effective pressure at the base
Qnu =Qu – ýDf
The factor w takes into account the effect of the water
table. If the water table is at or below a depth of (Df +B
) measured from the ground surface w =1
9. If the water table is likely to rise to the base of the
footing or above the value of w is taken at 0.50
10. Case study
Project :- determination depth of foundation
Location :- tramba village
depth of water table Dw= 3.8m
depth of foundation Df= 1.2m
Here , Dw>Df
So we conclude,
For this depth of foundation no effect on bearing
capacity of soil due to water table level.
11. CONCLUSIONS
At sites where construction on soils of low bearing
capacity is inevitable, then excess ground water
should be pumped out as required to get the desired
bearing capacity .
Higher the water table, lesser is the bearing
capacity and strength of the soil.
