SOIL MECHANICS IES MASTER GATE MATERIAL : CLICK HERE Knowledge of slope stability, effects of seepage, consolidation and consequent settlement as well as compaction characteristics for achieving maximum unit weight of the soil in-situ, is absolutely essential for efficient design and construction of embankments and earth dams. Likewise the construction of embankments and earth dams where soil itself is used as the construction material, requires a thorough knowledge of the engineering behaviour of soil especially in the presence of water. Excavations, Embankments and DamsĮxcavations require the knowledge of slope stability analysis deep excavations may need temporary supports ‘timbering’ or ‘bracing’, the design of which requires knowledge of soil mechanics. Consideration of these and other factors in the efficient design of a pavement is a must and one cannot do without the knowledge of soil mechanics. Problems peculiar to the design of pavements are the effect of repetitive loading, swelling and shrinkage of sub-soil and frost action. Flexible pavements depend more on the subgrade soil for transmitting the traffic loads. Pavement Design may consist of the design of flexible or rigid pavements. Underground structures such as drainage structures, pipe lines, and tunnels and earth-retaining structures such as retaining walls and bulkheads can be designed and constructed only by using the principles of soil mechanics and the concept of ‘soil-structure interaction’. Underground and Earth-retaining Structures Thus, the foundation is an important part of a structure, the type and details of which can be decided upon only with the knowledge and application of the principles of soil mechanics. The loads from any structure have to be ultimately transmitted to a soil through the foundation for the structure.
