Arthur Casagrande developed a standard device for the determination of liquid limit suggesting that at the water content of liquid limit a clay soil has a shear strength of approximately 2.5 kPa.…

California bearing ratio test is one of the soil strength evaluation tests. In this test, the relative strength of a soil specimen is measured with respect to the standard sample.

In this…

In flexible pavements, different kinds of layers are used to withstand the traffic load. CBR value is required to determine the thickness of those layers, especially for base and subgrade materia…

The Standard Penetration Test, also known as SPT, is an is-situ test of soil to evaluate the soil properties. Around the world, it is the most popular test of soil for subsurface exploration. The…

Boussinesq (1842 – 1929) evolved equations that can be used to determine stresses at any point P at a depth z as a result of a surface point load.

Boussines…
