Expert Talk on Soil properties, investigation and interpretation By Dr. Chandresh H. Solanki
Purpose:
A Civil Engineer has to be conversant with Soil and its properties and its behaviours with water and climate condition. Expert talk on “Soil properties. Investigation and interpretation” gives the idea about the soil its behaviour and favourable condition for the foundation to the student. Gujarat is having different kind of soil and various nature of the soil and its bearing capacity. So it is very useful for the civil engineer to understand the concept of soil and foundation.
Expert lecture is delivered by Dr. Chandresh H. Solanki, head of Applied Mechanics department, SVNIT, Surat. Lecture includes factors affecting the selection of boring and relative concept of particle size analysis and soil consistency.
Topics Covered in Expert Lecture are:
- Boring, bearing capacity of Soil
- Soil distribution curve
- Particle size analysis
- Soil consistency
- Factors affecting selection of bores
- Soil properties
- Soil investigation
- Field identification about the soil
Date: 19th September, 2017
Venue: 101, Seminar Hall, SSASIT, Surat
No. of Participants: 130
Learning Outcomes:
- Enhance creativity and innovation.
- Understand Various concept about soil
- Particle size analysis
- Soil importance against foundation
How it is useful for Students:
- Expert lecture will help to deliver adequate knowledge to students in the stream of the Soil and foundation engineering.
- Students will be able to understand how soil is behaving against the load and which points should be taken care about the soil while dealing with foundation of structure.
