Soil Mechanics: Engineering Properties
Engineering Properties
i)Permeability
ii)Compressibility
iii)Shear strength
1 Permeability
It indicates the facility with which water can flow through
soils. It is re quired for estimation of seepage discharge throug h earth
masses.
2 Compressibility
It is related with the
deformations produced in soils when they are subjected to compressive load.
3 Shear Strength
It determines the stability of
slope bearing capacity of soils and the earth pressure on retaining structures.
