  12. Fundamental of Soil Mechanics

  14. Bangkok Subsoil condition

  15. Keyword from boring log • ST, SS • Atterberg’s limits • Water content • Unit weight • Sieve analysis • Unconfined shear • Standard penetration test

  16. Va Vw Vs • Soil is generally a three phase material • Contains solid particles and voids • Voids can contain liquid and gas phases

  17. Va Vw Vs • Soil is generally a three phase material • Contains solid particles and voids • Voids can contain liquid and gas phases

  18. Va Vw Vs • Soil is generally a three phase material • Contains solid particles and voids • Voids can contain liquid and gas phases

  19. Units • Lengthmetres • Masstonnes (1 tonne = 103 kg) • Densityt/m3 • Weightkilonewtons (kN) • Stresskilopascals (kPa) 1 kPa= 1 kN/m2 • Unit weightkN/m3 • AccuracyDensity of water, rw = 1 t/m3 Stress/Strength to 0.1 kPa

  20. Weight and Unit weight • Force due to mass (weight) more important than mass • W = M g • Unit weight

  21. Weight and Unit weight • Force due to mass (weight) more important than mass • W = M g • Unit weight g = r g

  22. Weight and Unit weight • Force due to mass (weight) more important than mass • W = M g • Unit weight g = r g z sv = r g z sv = g z sv

  23. Specific Gravity This is defined by • Gs@2.65 for most soils • Gs is useful because it enables the volume of solid particles to be calculated from mass or weight

  24. Moisture Content • The moisture content, m, is defined as

  25. Moisture Content • The moisture content, m, is defined as In terms of e, S, Gs and gw Ww = gwVw = gwe S Vs Ws = gs Vs = gw Gs Vs

  26. Procedure for grain size determination • Sieving - used for particles > 75 mm • Hydrometer test - used for smaller particles • Analysis based on Stoke’s Law, velocity proportional to diameter

  27. Sieve analysis

  28. Atterberg Limits • Particle size is not that useful for fine grained soils Moisture content versus volume relation during drying

  29. Atterberg’s Limit • Liquid Limit – The minimum water content at which the soil can be flow under its own weight • Plastic Limit – The minimum water content at which soil can be roller into a thread 3 mm diameter with out breaking up • Shrinkage – The maximum water content at which further loss of moisture does not cause a decrease in the volume of soil

  30. LL - Liquid limit

  31. PL – Plastic limit SL – Shrinkage limit

  32. Atterberg Limits SL - Shrinkage Limit PL - Plastic Limit LL - Liquid limit Plasticity Index = LL - PL = PI or Ip Liquidity Index = (m - PL)/Ip = LI

  33. Definition of Grain Size No specific grain size-use Atterberg limits Silt and Clay Gravel Sand Cobbles Boulders Coarse Fine Coarse Medium Fine No.200 0.075 mm No.4 4.75 mm 300 mm 75 mm No.10 2.0 mm 19 mm No.40 0.425 mm

  34. Soil symbols: G: Gravel S: Sand M: Silt C: Clay O: Organic Pt: Peat Liquid limit symbols: H: High LL (LL>50) L: Low LL (LL<50) Gradation symbols: W: Well-graded P: Poorly-graded Symbols Example: SW, Well-graded sand SC, Clayey sand SM, Silty sand, MH, Elastic silt

  35. L H PI LL (Holtz and Kovacs, 1981) Plasticity Chart • The A-line generally separates the more claylike materials from silty materials, and the organics from the inorganics. • The U-line indicates the upper bound for general soils. • Note: If the measured limits of soils are on the left of U-line, they should be rechecked.

  36. Soil Classification Procedure

  37. Effective stress theory - Fully Saturated: Sr=100% -  = Total stress  to boundary - u = pore water pressure -u = Effective stress which is transmitted to the soil structure Bishop (1954): ’ = -u : No change in soil strength if no change in ’. f=c’ + ’ tan(’) c’ and ’ are effective cohesion and friction angle of soil. - Equilibrium condition - impermeable membrane

  38. 0 50 100 150 kPa 0m 2m 4m Total Stress (5m) pore water pressure 6m Effective stress Depth 8m
