• Weight kilonewtons (kN)• Stress kilopascals (kPa) 1 kPa= 1 kN/m2
• Unit weight kN/m3
• Accuracy Density of water, rw = 1 t/m3

Specific Gravity
• Gs @ 2.65 for most soils
• Gs is useful because it enables the volume of solid particles to be calculated from mass or weight

Procedure for grain size determination• Sieving - used for particles > 75 mm
• Hydrometer test - used for smaller particles– Analysis based on Stoke’s Law, velocity proportional to diameter
Sieve analysis
Atterberg Limits• Particle size is not that useful for fine
grained soils
Moisture content versus volume relation during drying
•Liquid Limit – The minimum water content at which the soil can be flow under its own weight
•Plastic Limit – The minimum water content at which soil can be roller into a thread 3 mm diameter with out breaking up
•Shrinkage – The maximum water content at which further loss of moisture does not cause a decrease in the volume of soil
Atterberg’s Limit
LL - Liquid limit
PL – Plastic limit
SL – Shrinkage limit
Atterberg Limits
SL - Shrinkage LimitPL - Plastic LimitLL - Liquid limit
Plasticity Index = LL - PL = PI or Ip
Liquidity Index = (m - PL)/Ip = LI

HL•The A-line generally
separates the more claylike materials from silty materials, and the organics from the inorganics.
•The U-line indicates the upper bound for general soils.
Note: If the measured limits of soils are on the left of U-line, they should be rechecked.
Soil Classification Procedure
Effective stress theory
u
- Fully Saturated: Sr=100%
- = Total stress to boundary
- u = pore water pressure
-u = Effective stress which is transmitted to the soil structure
Bishop (1954):
’ = -u : No change in soil strength if no change in ’.
f=c’ + ’ tan(’)
c’ and ’ are effective cohesion and friction angle of soil.
