Introduction of RQD In Civil engineering, different parameters are used to characterize the Quality of the rocks. Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of the rocks and Characteristics of rocks is one of the challenging parts of rock engineering. Rock mass […]
The Modified Proctor Test: Enhancing Soil Bearing Capacity through Compaction
Introduction of Modified Proctor Test Bearing capacity of the soil is one of the most important factors which should be considered during the construction of any structure or building. Before starting construction it is necessary that the bearing capacity of […]
Bearing Capacity and Failures in Soil Mechanics
Bearing Capacity Definitions Bearing capacity: It is the loading capacity of the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity (qu): That is the least gross pressure that will result in the shear collapse of the supporting soil directly below the foundation. Net ultimate […]
