Project relevance: For construction of roads and embankments, soil material must be compacted to its densest state, which will result in higher soil strength and long-term stability. To obtain the compaction characteristics of soil, engineers conduct a series of laboratory standard compaction tests and then use these data for field compaction. In this project, an embankment will be built as part of a pre-load method to consolidate the soft alluvial clay (more details about consolidation are given in Chapter 10) using the sand from Pit 1. We are required to interpret and analyse data from compaction tests on this sand. This section will introduce the concept of soil compaction and discuss how to determine compaction characteristics of soil.

Necessity of studying Shear Strength of soils : • Soil failure usually occurs in the form of “shearing” along internal surface within the soil. Shear Strength: • Thus, structural strength is primarily a function of shear strength. • The strength of a material is the greatest stress it can sustain • The safety of any geotechnical structure is dependent on the strength of the soil • If the soil fails, the structure founded on it can collapse Thus shear strength is “The capacity of a material to resist the internal and external forces which slide past each other” Significance of Shear Strength : Engineers must understand the nature of shearing resistance in order to analyze soil stability problems such as; Bearing capacity Slope stability Lateral earth pressure on earth-retaining structure
