One liner Question And Answers of Soil Mechanics/Geo-technical Engineering
1. The term Soil Mechanics was invented by Mr. Karl Terzaghi.
2. The soil transported by running water is called alluvial soil.
3. The soil transported by wind is called Aeolian soil/ Loess.
4. The soil which deposited at the bottom of the lake is called lacustrine soil.
5. The soil transported by Glaciers is called glacial drift.
6. The soil transported by Gravitational Force is called Colluvial Soil/ Talus.
7. According to Mr. Terzaghi SOIL MECHANICS is the application of laws of mechanics and hydraulics to engineering problems dealing with sediments and chemical disintegration of rocks regardless of whether or not they contain an admixture of organic constituent.
8. Soil is considered by an Engineer as a complex material produced by the weathering action of the solid rock.
9. For Engineering Purposes soil is defined as natural aggregates of mineral grains, loose or moderately cohesive, inorganic or organic in nature.
10. To an Agriculturist soil is the substance existing on the earth surface which grows and develops plant life. 11. To a Geologist soil is a disintegrated rock.
12. Chemical Weathering may cause due to oxidation, hydration, carbonation, and leaching by organic acids and water.
13. Mechanical Weathering of soil is caused by periodical tem. Changes, splitting action of flowing water, splitting action of ice and so on.
14. A civil engineer considers 10 to 15 m of top mantle of soil in dealing with small/ medium type projects.
15. Geological cycle - weathering→transportation → deposition →upheal.
16. Cohessionless Soil is sand and sand posses clay. Sand is almost non – compressible.
17. Maxim size of silt is 0.06mm.
18. Silt is a fine grained soil with little or no plasticity.
19. A fine grained soil has low permeability, but has high compressibility.
20. Consolidation and compressibility of soil deals with changes in volume of pores in a soil under load.
