Upload NowIn this article we will discuss about the laplace equation for determining two-dimensional flow of soil elements. Consider a soil element of infinitesimally small size of dx and dz in X- and Z-directions, respectively, through which the flow is taking place, shown in Fig. 10.8. Consider unit length of the soil element in the Y-direction. […]

In Situ Tests Used in Soil Exploration | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In situ tests give a more realistic picture of soil properties basically because of two reasons: i. The in situ tests cover a larger area and volume of soil mass than the laboratory tests which are conducted on small-size samples of soil. ii. Several site factors, such as non-homogeneity of soil, groundwater table, moisture content, […]
