JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

To determine the Index and Engineering properties of soils under different

conditions.

Course Outcomes

At the end of the course, student will be able to

• 1. Conduct suitable laboratory tests based on the soil and its conditions,
• 2. Interpret the obtained soil test results
• 3. Identify obtained soil test results to apply for a specific Civil Engineering project.

List of Experiments:

• 1. Classification of soils
• 2. Hydrometer Analysis
• 3. Determination of insitu density by core cutter and sand replacement methods
• 4. Scale effect of permeability
• 5. Effect of compactive effort on compaction of different soils
• 6. Variation of CBR values for different soils in soaked and unsoaked conditions
• 7. Effect of saturation on shear parameters from direct shear tests (tests to be conducted in unsaturated as well as saturated condition)
• 8. Determination of shear parameters from unconfined compression tests
• 9. Determination of shear parameters from Triaxial Tests- UU Test
• 10. Triaxial Tests- CU Test with pore pressure R19 M.TECH GEOTECHNICAL ENGG. M.TECH.- I YEAR- I SEMESTER GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
