Students taking JNTUK’s R20 Civil Branch Can Download the R20 3-1 Geotechnical Engineering 1 (GTE-1) Materials/Notes PDFs below.
OBJECTIVES:
- To help the student discover the soil’s index properties and to classify them.
- To introduce the idea of Seepage of water into soils and determine Seepage’s discharge.
- To help students discern between consolidation and compaction of soils and to assess the extent and rate of settlement due to consolidation.
- The student will be able to comprehend the notion of the shear strength of soils, assessment of shear properties of sands and clays, as well as the fields of their use.
