  • ABSTRACT

    Geotechnical Engineering has been developed in the 20th century. The need for

    the analysis of the behaviour of soils arose in many countries, often as a result of

    spectacular accidents, such as landslides and failures of foundations.

    Index properties of soil such as specific gravity, moisture content, dry density,

    wet density etc. are the important parameters in geotechnical engineering and they

    are changing from place to place both along the depth and width of the stratum. It is

    important for the geotechnical engineers to know about variation of the index

    properties of soil before carrying out design and construction of any geotechnical

    structure. Any field or laboratory soil testing will provide result which is too specific

    for a particular location to generalize over an extended area. In this project, an

    attempt is made to develop a methodology to map the important index properties of

    soil by using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System

    (GPS) using existing soil exploration reports. The method suggested in this project

    will help all the soil exploration agencies and practicing geotechnical engineers for

    immediate decision making process about soil suitability as foundation materials.

  • CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 BACKGROUND

    Soil is a natural material having variety of physical properties, most of which

    are not constant and it is varying from place to place. Index properties of soils are those

    properties which are mainly used in the identification and classification of soils and

    help the geotechnical Engineer in predicting the suitability of soils as

    foundation/construction material. Specific gravity of soil particles, particle size

    distribution, Consistency limits and moisture content etc. are the index properties of

    soil. Apart from that permeability, compressibility and shear strength are the

    engineering properties of soil. Moisture content of soil is one of the important factor

    depending upon which the shear strength of soil will change.

    Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based information system

    capable of capturing, storing, analysing, and displaying geographically referenced

    information, i.e. the data identified according to a particular location/region. GIS

    software is interoperable, supporting the many data formats used in the infrastructure

    life cycle and allowing civil engineers to provide data to various agencies in the

    required format while maintaining the datas core integrity. GIS technology provides a

    central location to conduct spatial analysis, overlay data, and integrate other solutions

    and systems. Built on a database rather than individual project files, GIS enables civil

    engineers to easily manage, reuse, share, and analyse data, saving time and resources.

    Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation and surveying

    system for determination of precise position and time, using radio signals received from

    the satellites, in real-time or in post-processing mode. The use of GIS, which is capable

    to analyse regional areas based on spatial distribution, is well known. As more and

    more data become available in a digitized format it is possible to develop software

    routines that can perform identification of Index soil properties and preparation of

    thematic maps of soil type, moisture content, ground water depth, SPT value etc. in

    conjunction with a GIS.

  • 1.2 AIM OF PROJECT

    Application of GPS and GIS for mapping Soil Index Properties like moisture

    content, dry density of soil, specific gravity of soil, liquid limit etc. of Gorakhpur.

    1.3 OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT

    Traditional methods of mapping soil index properties by using any other

    information system fail to provide information pertaining to the spatial aspects in

    geotechnical Engineering. The application of geographic information system in

    geotechnical will be new in the Indian Construction industry. GIS will allow soil

    investigators and different people involved in project with different backgrounds to get

    the information about soil properties on a single click. Mapping of soil index properties

    have following objectives:

    Make easy to get detailed information about index properties of soil of Study area.

    Easy to investigate and classify of soil.

    Preparation of Soil index properties map using GPS &GIS provide information pertaining to the spatial aspects in geotechnical Engineering.

    GIS will allow soil investigators and different people involved in project with different

    backgrounds to get the information about soil properties on a single click.

    1.4 NEED OF STUDY

    It is traditional practice in civil engineering for construction of new civil

    projects to carry out soil exploration by taking number boreholes in a given plot. It is

    seen that the a reference sketch of bore holes drilled in the plot is prepared on a paper

    by giving their location by taking reference of local permanent points such as corner of

    any exiting building or any other point. Then the geotechnical Engineers will work out

    the safe bearing capacity of soil at foundation level of entire building plot from

    borehole data and laboratories soil test results. Many times the previous experience

    regarding a local soil profile of a typical area and laboratories soil test result will help

    to the geotechnical engineers regarding taking decision about the soil suitability as a

    foundation material. The latitude, longitude of boreholes data are many time missing. In

  • this project an attempt is made to use Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to

    map the exact location of boreholes which can be used as input data in GPS, GIS and

    UTM software is used to run the queries to know various properties of soil.

    1.5 ABOUT STUDY AREA (GORAKHPUR)

    The district of Gorakhpur lies between Lat. 2613N and 2729N and Long.

    8305E and 8356E. The district occupies the north-eastern corner of the state. The

    district is located in the Terai region, in the foothills of the Shiwalik Himalayas. It is

    located on the bank of river Rapti and Rohin rivers originating in Nepal that often

    causes severe floods. The Rapti is interconnected through many other small rivers

    following meandering courses across the Gangetic Plain. Situated on the basin of rivers

    Rapti and Rohin, the geographical shape of the Gorakhpur City is of bowl, surrounded

    by the river and other small streams from three sides.

    The district geology is primarily river born alluvium. Few mineral products are

    mined in Gorakhpur, with the most common being a nodular limestone conglomerate

    known as kankar, brick, and salt petre. Gorakhpur District population constituted 2.27

    percent of total Uttar Pradesh population in 2001 census. The Kppen Climate

    Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa" (Humid Subtropical Climate)

    Avg. annual temperature 26 C (79 F)

    Avg. summer temperature 40 C (104 F)

    Avg. winter temperature 18 C (64 F)

    Study Area = 156 km2

    Gorakhpur Area = 81.5 km2

  • 1.6 IMORTANCE OF MAPPING OF SOIL INDEX PROPERTY

    Geographic Information System (GIS) is rooted in intellectual practices, populated by

    data and powered by mathematical analysis. A survey conducted by Schuurman suggested

    that currently, the main use of GIS is for spatial analysis, predictive modelling, cartography

    and visualisation.

    Geographic Information Systems are computer based tools for mapping and

    analysing features and events on earth. GIS technology integrates common database

    operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualisation and geographic

    analysis benefits offered by maps

    o It helps in selection of site for different engineering project. Dry density of soil

    help in determining amount of water for compaction of soil for road

    construction.

    o Soil index properties predict the engineering property of soil such

    compressibility, shear strength durability etc.

    o Mapping of soil index property will help in identification of soil without

    performing any test which will save time and cost.

    o Map of different area having different soil properties can be prepared.

  • CHAPTER 2

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    2.1 SOIL MECHANICS

    Soil mechanics has become a distinct and separate branch of engineering mechanics

    because soils have a number of special properties, which distinguish the material from other

    materials. Its development has also been stimulated, of course, by the wide range of

    applications of soil engineering in civil engineering, as all structures require a sound

    foundation and should transfer its loads to the soil.

    Important pioneering contributions to the development of soil mechanics were made

    by Karl Terzaghi, who, among many other things, has described how to deal with the

    influence of the pressures of the pore water on the behaviour of soils. This is an essential

    element of soil mechanics theory.

    2.2 PROPERTIES OF SOILS

    The properties of soil can be divided as Index properties and Engineering properties.

    The main Engineering properties are permeability, compressibility and shear strength. The

    brief description of few engineering and index properties of soil are given below.

    Soil Index properties

    1. Moisture content

    2. Unit Weight of soil

    3. Specific gravity

    4. Soil grain size

    5. Consistency

    Soil Engineering properties

    1. Permeability

    2. Compressibility

    3. Shear strength

  • Permeability indicates the ease with which the water can flow through soils.

    Compressibility is related with the deformations which soil undergoes when subjected to

    compressive loads.

    The Shear strength helps in determining stability of slopes, bearing capacity of soils and

    the earth pressures on retaining structures.

    The specific gravity of soil solids is the ratio of the density of a given volume of soil

    solids to the greatest density (at +4C) of an equal volume of pure water.

    The principal soil grain properties are the size and shape of grains and the mineralogical

    character of the finer fractions. The most significant aggregate property of cohesion less

    soils is the relative density, whereas that of cohesive soils is the consistency.

    Moisture content is that amount of water which is contained in the voids of the soil. It is

    one of the important factor depending upon which the shear strength of soil will change.

    Consistency is the property of materials which shows its resistance to flow. When

    referred to soil, it means, the degree of resistance offered by fine grained soil to

    deformation. The water content at which the soil changes from one state to another state

    termed as consistency limit.

    Dry density of soil mass is the ratio of mass of soil solids to the volume of soil mass.

    Therefore the properties of soil such as specific gravity, moisture content, dry density,

    wet density and consistency limits such as liquid limit, plastic limits and shrinkage limits

    are the essential for determination of engineering properties of soil, which will help to

    geotechnical engineer for decision making process of suitability of soil as foundation

    materials or construction materials. If the properties of soil are properly studied and the

    results of soil exploration correctly understood and intelligently applied to the design and

    construction of earthworks and structural foundations, failures usually can be avoided.

    Fig. 2.1 Index Properties of Soil

  • 2.2.1 MOISTURE CONTENT

    The water content (w) is also called natural water content or natural moisture content

    is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil. This

    ratio is usually expressed as percentage.

    In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The

    knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To

    sight a few, natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and

    settlement. The natural moisture content will give an idea of the state of soil in the field.

    Soil mass is generally a three phase system. It consists of solid particles, liquid and

    gas. For all practical purposes, the liquid may be considered to be water (although in some

    cases, the water may contain some dissolved salts) and the gas as air. The phase system may

    be expressed in SI units either in terms of mass-volume or weight- volume relationships.

    The inter relationships of the different phases are important since they help to define the

    condition or the physical make-up of the soil.

    Fig. 2.2 Block diagram two and three phase of a Soil element.

  • 2.2.2 UNIT WEIGHT OF SOIL

    Field density is defined as weight of unit volume of soil present in site. That is The

    soil weight consists of three phase system that is solids, water and air. The voids may be

    filled up with both water and air, or only with air, or only with water. Consequently the soil

    may be dry, saturated or partially saturated.

    In soils, mass of air is considered to be negligible, and therefore the saturated density

    is maximum, dry density is minimum and wet density is in between the two.

    In soil mechanics these are often of minor importance, and it is often considered

    accurate enough to assume that

    Yw = 1000 kg/m3.

    For the analysis of soil mechanics problems the density of air can usually be

    disregarded. The density of the solid particles depends upon the actual composition of the

    solid material. In many cases, especially for quartz sands, its value is about

    Yp = 2650 kg/m3.

  • 2.2.3 SPECIFIC GRAVITY

    Specific gravity of a substance denotes the number of times that substance is heavier

    than water. In simpler words we can define it as the ratio between the mass of any substance

    of a definite volume divided by mass of equal volume of water. In case of soils, specific

    gravity is the number of times the soil solids are heavier than equal volume of water.

    Different types of soil have different specific gravities, general range for specific gravity of

    soils:

    Fig. 2.3 Specific gravity of different soil

    2.2.4 PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION

    Soil at any place is composed of particles of a variety of sizes and shapes, sizes

    ranging from a few microns to a few centimetres are present sometimes in the same soil

    sample. The distribution of particles of different sizes determines many physical properties of

    the soil such as its strength, permeability, density etc.

    Particle size distribution is found out by two methods, first is sieve analysis which is

    done for coarse grained soils only and the other method is sedimentation analysis used for

    fine grained soil sample. Both are followed by plotting the results on a semi-log graph. The

    percentage finer N as the ordinate and the particle diameter i.e. sieve size as the abscissa on a

    logarithmic scale. The curve generated from the result gives us an idea of the type and

    gradation of the soil. If the curve is higher up or is more towards the left, it means that the soil

    has more representation from the finer particles; if it is towards the right, we can deduce that

    the soil has more of the coarse grained particles.

  • The soil may be of two types- well graded or poorly graded (uniformly graded). Well

    graded soils have particles from all the size ranges in a good amount. On the other hand, it is

    said to be poorly or uniformly graded if it has particles of some sizes in excess and deficiency

    of particles of other sizes. Sometimes the curve has a flat portion also which means there is an

    absence of particles of intermediate size, these soils are also known as gap graded or skip

    graded.

    For analysis of the particle distribution, we sometimes use D10, D30, and D60 etc.

    terms which represents a size in mm such that 10%, 30% and 60% of particles respectively

    are finer than that size. The size of D10 also called the effective size or diameter is a very

    useful data. There is a term called uniformity coefficient Cu which comes from the ratio of

    D60 and D10, it gives a measure of the range of the particle size of the soil sample.

    2.2.5 CONSISTENCY OF COHESIVE SOIL

    ATTERBERG LIMITS

    The presence of clay minerals in a fine-grained soil will allow it to remolded in the

    presence of some moisture without crumbling. If a clay slurry is dried, the moisture content

    will gradually decrease and the slurry will pass from a liquid state to a plastic state. With

    further drying, it will change to a semisolid state and finally to a solid state as shown in

    Figure. In about 1911, a Swedish scientist, A. Atterberg, developed a method for describing

    the limit consistency of fine-grained soils on the basis of moisture content. These limits are

    the liquid limit, and the shrinkage limit.

  • Fig. 2.5 Atterberg limit of Soil

    The liquid limit is defined as the moisture content, in percent, at which the soil

    changes from illiquid state to a plastic state. The liquid limit is now generally determined by

    the standard Casagrande device (Casagrande, 1932, 1948). The moisture contents (in percent)

    at which the soil changes from a plastic to a semisolid state and from a semisolid to a solid

    state are defined, respectively, as the plastic limit and the shrinkage limit. These limits are

    generally referred to as the Atterberg limits.

    The Atterberg limits of cohesive soil depend on several factors, such as amount and

    type of clay mineral sand type of absorbed cation.

    The difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit of a soil is defined as the

    plasticity index PI:

    PI = LL PL

    Where LL is the liquid limit and PL the plastic limit.

  • LIQUIDITY INDEX

    The relative consistency of a cohesive soil can be defined by a ratio called the

    liquidity index LI. It is defined as

    2.2.6 ACTIVITY

    The oriented water (absorbed and double layer) gives rise to the plastic property of a

    clay soil. The thickness of the oriented water around a clay particle is dependent on the type

    of clay mineral. Thus, it can be expected that the plasticity of given clay will depend on (1)

    the nature of the clay mineral present and (2) the amount of clay mineral present. Based on

    laboratory test results for several soils. Skempton (1953) made the observation that, for a

    given soil, the plasticity index is directly proportional to the percent of clay size fraction (i.e.,

    percent by weight finer than 0.002 mm in size), as shown in Figure. With this observation,

    Skempton defined parameter called activity.

    Fig. 2.6 Variation of plasticity index with the percent of clay size fraction

  • Where C is the percent of clay-size fraction, by weight. It should be noted that the

    activity of a given soil will be a function of the type of clay mineral present in it.

    The activities of several sand-clay mineral mixtures have been evaluated by Seed et al.

    (1964b). They concluded that although PI bears a linear relation to clay-size fractions, the

    line of correlation may to pass through the origin.

    For practical purposes, it seems convenient to define activity as

    Activity has been used as an index property to determine the swelling potential of expansive

    clays.

    2.2.7 VOID RATIO

    Soil void ratio (e) is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids:

    e = (Vv) / (Vs)

    Where Vv is the volume of the voids (empty or filled with fluid), and Vs is the

    volume of solids.

    Void ratio is usually used in parallel with soil porosity (n) , which is defined as the

    ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the soil. The porosity and the void ratio are

    inter-related as follows:

    e = n /(1-n) and n = e / (1+e)

    The value of void ratio depends on the consistence and packing of the soil. It is

    directly affected by compaction.

    For most soils the porosity is a number between 0.30 and 0.45 (or, as it is usually

    expressed as a percentage, between 30 % and 45 %). When the porosity is small the soil is

    called densely packed, when the porosity is large it is loosely packed.

  • 2.2.8 DEGREE OF SATURATION

    The degree of saturation, S, has an important influence on the soil behaviour. It is

    defined as the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of void.

    S = Vw/Vv

    2.2.9 AIR CONTENT

    It is the ratio of volume of air to the volume of void.

    Ac = Va/Vv

    Ac = (1-S)

    2.2.10 PERCENTAGE AIR VOID

    IT is the ratio of volume of air to the volume of soil sample.

    Na=Va/V

    Na=n*Ac

    2.2.11 SOIL CLASSIFICATION

    Soil classification is the arrangement of soils into various groups or subgroups to

    provide a common language to express briefly the general usage characteristics without

    detailed descriptions. At the present time, two major soil classification systems are available

    for general engineering use. They are the unified system, which is described below, and the

    AASHTO system. Both systems use simple index properties such as grain-size distribution,

    liquid limit, and plasticity index of soil.

    The unified system of soil classification was originally proposed by A. Casagrande in

    1942 and was then revised in 1952 by the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of

    Reclamation. In its present form, the systems widely used by various organizations,

    geotechnical engineers in private consulting business, and building codes.

  • Initially, there are two major divisions in the system. A soil is classified as a coarse-

    grained soil (gravelly and sandy) if more than 50% is retained on a No. 200 sieve and as a

    fine-grained soil (silty and clayey) if more than 50% is passing through a No. 200 sieve. The

    soil is then further classified by a number of subdivisions, as shown in Table. The following

    symbols are used:

    Fig. 2.7 Unified Classification System(USA).

    It is traditional practice in civil engineering for construction of new civil projects to

    carry out soil exploration by taking number boreholes in a given plot. It is seen that the a

    reference sketch of bore holes drilled in the plot is prepared on a paper by giving their

    location by taking reference of local permanent points such as corner of any exiting building

    or any other point. Then the geotechnical Engineers will work out the safe bearing capacity of

    soil at foundation level of entire building plot from borehole data and laboratories soil test

    results. Many times the previous experience regarding a local soil profile of a typical area and

    laboratories soil test result will help to the geotechnical engineers regarding taking decision

    about the soil suitability as a foundation material. The latitude, longitude of boreholes data

    are many time missing. In this project an attempt is made to use Global Positioning System

    (GPS) receivers to map the exact location of boreholes which can be used as input data in

    GIS and UTM software is used to run the queries to know various properties of soil.

  • 2.3 GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

    A GIS is basically a computerized information system like any other database, but with

    an important difference: all information in GIS must be linked to a geographic (spatial)

    reference (latitude/longitude, or other spatial coordinates).

    Geographic Information System provides efficient tools for inputting data into

    database, retrieval of selected data items for further processing and software modules which

    can analyse or manipulate the retrieved data in order to generate desired information on

    specific form. GIS stores spatial and non-spatial data in two different databases. The

    geocoded spatial data defines an object that has an orientation and relationship with other

    objects in two (2D) or three dimensional (3D) space. GIS uses three types of data to represent

    a map or any geo-referenced data, namely, point type, line type, and area or polygon type. It

    can work with both the vector and the raster geographic models. The vector model is

    generally used for describing the discrete features, while the raster model does it for the

    continuous features. One of the major advantages of the GIS is that it incorporate all type of

    relevant data either available in aerial photographic data, remote sensing images data, tabular

    data etc. These and other information are viewed as individual coverage that may be

    simultaneously overlaid depending on the desired detail of the analysis.

    GIS = G + IS

    Geographic reference + Information system

    GIS = IS with geographically referenced data

    Data of spatial coordinates

    on the surface of the earth

    (Map) location data

    Database of attribute data

    corresponding to spatial

    location and procedures to

    provide information for

    decision making

  • A GIS can be viewed in three ways:

    a) The Database View

    b) The Map View

    c) The Model View

    a). The Database View: A GIS is a unique kind of database of the world a geographic

    database (geo-data- base). It is an Information System for Geography. Fundamentally, a

    GIS is based on a structured database that describes the world in geographic terms.

    b). The Map View: A GIS is a set of intelligent maps and other views that show features and

    feature relation- ships on the earths surface. Maps of the underlying geo- graphic information

    can be constructed and used as windows into the database to support queries, analysis, and

    editing of the information.

    c). The Model View: A GIS is a set of information transformation tools that derive new

    geographic datasets from existing datasets. These geo-processing functions take information

    from existing datasets, apply analytic functions, and write results into new derived datasets.

    2.3.2 BENEFITS OF GIS

    The common benefits of GIS are as follows:

    Ensures current, accurate data by Public Safety GIS experts;

    Provides standardized process for timely data delivery for your GIS environment;

    Affords varying levels of service available from one company (advanced to basic);

    Provides data in standardized ESRI formats;

    Increases control of data maintenance;

    Offers seamless service: we are divided into teams for cross-functional project

    overlap;

    Offers largest public safety GIS staff in the industry;

    Provides cost efficiencies of hiring a contractor.

  • 2.4 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)

    The Global Positioning System is being used all over the world for numerous navigational

    and positioning applications, including navigation on land, in air and on sea, determining the

    precise coordinates of important geographical features as an essential input to mapping and

    Geographical Information System (GIS), along with its use for precise cadastral surveys,

    vehicle guidance in cities and on highways using GPS-GIS integrated systems, earthquake and

    landslide monitoring, etc.

    The GPS, which consists of 24 satellites in near circular orbits at about 20,200 km altitude, now

    provides full coverage with signals from minimum 4 satellites available to the user, at any place

    on the Earth. By receiving signals transmitted by minimum 4 satellites simultaneously, the

    observer can determine his geometric position (latitude, longitude and height), Universal Time

    Coordinated (UTC) and velocity vectors with higher accuracy, economy and in less time

    compared to any other technique available today.

    Fig. 2.10 Different segment of GPS

    GPS is primarily a navigation system for real-time positioning. However, with the

    transformation from the ground-to-ground survey measurements to ground-to-space

    measurements made possibly by GPS, this technique overcomes the numerous limitations of

    terrestrial surveying methods, like the requirement of inter-visibility of survey stations,

  • dependability on weather, difficulties in night observations, etc. These advantages over the

    conventional techniques and the economy of operations make GPS the most promising

    surveying technique of the future. With the well-established high accuracy achievable with GPS

    in positioning of points separated by few hundred meters to hundreds of km, this unique

    surveying technique has found important applications in diverse fields.

    GPS is used on incidents in a variety of ways, such as:

    To determine position locations; for example, you need to radio a helicopter pilot the

    coordinates of your position location so the pilot can pick you up.

    To navigate from one location to another; for example, you need to travel from a lookout to

    the fire perimeter.

    To create digitized maps; for example, you are assigned to plot the fire perimeter and hot

    spots.

    To determine distance between two points or how far you are from another location.

    METHODOLOGY

    It is important for the geotechnical engineers to know about variation of the index

    properties of soil before carrying out design and construction of any geotechnical structure.

    Any field or laboratory soil testing will provide result which is too specific for a particular

    location to generalize over an extended area. In this project, an attempt is made to develop a

    methodology to map the important index properties of soil by using Geographic Information

    System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) using existing soil exploration reports.

  • 3.2 DIFFERENT METHODS OF TESTING OF SOIL SAMPLE

    3.2.1 MOISTURE CONTENT

    The water content (w) is also called natural water content or natural moisture content

    is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil. This ratio

    is usually expressed as percentage.

    In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The

    knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To

    sight a few, natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and

    settlement. The natural moisture content will give an idea of the state of soil in the field.

    Soil mass is generally a three phase system. It consists of solid particles, liquid and

    gas. For all practical purposes, the liquid may be considered to be water (although in some

    cases, the water may contain some dissolved salts) and the gas as air. The phase system may

    be expressed in SI units either in terms of mass-volume or weight- volume relationships. The

    inter relationships of the different phases are important since they help to define the condition

    or the physical make-up of the soil.

    The water content of the soil sample can be determined by the following method

    1. Oven drying method.

    2. Pycnometer method.

    3. Alcohol method.

    4. Calcium carbide method.

    5. Sand bath method.

    6. Torsion balance method.

  • 1. OVEN DRYING METHOD

    Theory: The water content (w) of a soil sample is equal to the mass of water divided by the

    mass of solids.

    Where M1=mass of empty container.

    M2= mass of the container with wet soil.

    M3= mass of the container with dry soil.

    Some important points:

    Simplest and most accurate method. (IS-2720-PART-4-1985)

    Soil sample is dried in a controlled temperature (105-110C).

    For organic soil, temperature is about 60C.

    Sample is dried for 24 hours.

    For sandy soil, complete drying can be achieved in 4 to 6 hours.

    2. PYCNOMETER METHOD

    Theory: A Pycnometer is a glass jar of about 1 liter capacity, fitted with a brass conical cap

    by means of a screw type cover. The cap has a small hole of about 6mm diameter at its apex.

    The water content (w) of the sample is obtained as

  • Where M1=mass of empty Pycnometer,

    M2= mass of the Pycnometer with wet soil

    M3= mass of the Pycnometer and soil, filled with water,

    M4 = mass of Pycnometer filled with water only.

    G= Specific gravity of solids.

    Some important points:

    Quick method.

    Capacity of pycnometer = 900ml

    This method is more suitable for conhesionless soil

    .

    Used when specific gravity of soil solid is known.

    3. ALCOHOL METHOD

    This method covers the determination of the water content of a soil as a percentage of its

    dry mass. It is intended as a rapid alternative to the method given but is less accurate and is more

    suitable as a field test. Since methylated spirit is used, care shall be taken against risk of fire. The

    method shall not be used if the soil contains a large proportion of clay, gypsum, calcareous

    matter or organic matter.

    4. CALCIUM CARBIDE METHOD/ RAPID MOISTURE METER METHOD

    This test used to determine the moisture content of soils by means of a calcium carbide

    gas pressure moisture tester in the field. The tester is referred to as the Speedy. This method

  • shall not be used for granular material having particles retained on the No. 4 (4.75 mm) sieve.

    Use care when performing this test and working with the calcium chloride reagent.

    From the calibrated scale of the pressure gauge the percentage of water on total (wet)

    mass of soil is obtained and the same is converted to water content on dry mass of soil. The

    reagent has an expiration date and should be verified before using. Tightly close reagent cans

    when not in use.

    Some important points:

    Quick method (required 5 to 7 method); but may not be accurate results.

    Soil sample weight 4-6gms.

    Acetaline gas evolved.

    The gauge read moisture content with respect to wet soil i.e. Wr = Ww/(Ws)wet.

    Actual moisture content w = Wr/(1-Wr)*100 %.

    5. SAND BATH METHOD

    Sand Bath Method for the determination of soil water content is a quick field method

    which is employed when an electric oven is not available for drying of wet soil. Sand is kept on a

    tray to a height of about 3 cm. A container is filled with wet soil and dried by keeping on the

    sand bath and heating with stirring. Few white papers are kept on top of the wet soil in the

    container. The soil is said to be dry when these white papers turn brown. Finally, dry soil is

    obtained and the water content can be determined with the help of the equation obtained for oven

    drying method.

    Some important points:

    Quick field method.

    Used when electric oven is not available.

    Soil sample is put in container & dried by placing it in a sand bath, which is heated on

    kerosene store.

    Moisture content is determined by using same formula as in Oven Drying Method.

  • 6. TORSION BALANCE MOISTURE METER METHOD

    This section describes a method for rapid determination of water content of soils

    employing a device providing infra-red lamp for drying and torsion balance for getting of

    percentage of water on wet basis from a scale, and the results obtained are convertible to water

    content on dry basis.

    This section describes a method for rapid determination of water content of soils

    employing a device providing infra-red lamp for drying and torsion balance for getting of

    percentage of water on wet basis from a scale, and the results obtained are convertible to water

    content on dry basis.

    Some important points:

    Quick method, use in laboratory.

    Infrared radiation are used for dying sample.

    Principle: The torsion wire is prestressed accurately to an extent equal to 100% of the scale

    reading. Then the sample is evenly distributed on the balance pan to counteract the

    prestressed torsion and the scale is brought back to zero. As sample dries, the loss in weight

    is continuously balanced by the radiation of a drum calibrated directly to read moisture

    content on wet basis.

  • 3.2.2 UNIT WEIGHT OF SOIL

    Field density is defined as weight of unit volume of soil present in site. That is The soil

    weight consists of three phase system that is solids, water and air. The voids may be filled up

    with both water and air, or only with air, or only with water. Consequently the soil may be dry,

    saturated or partially saturated.

    In soils, mass of air is considered to be negligible, and therefore the saturated density is

    maximum, dry density is minimum and wet density is in between the two.

    Density or unit weight of soils may be determined by using the following method

    1. Core-cutter Method

    2. Sand Replacement Method

    3. Water Displacement Method

  • 1. CORE CUTTER METHOD

    Field density is used in calculating the stress in the soil due to its overburden pressure it

    is needed in estimating the bearing capacity of soil foundation system, settlement of footing earth

    pressures behind the retaining walls and embankments.

    Stability of natural slopes, dams, embankments and cuts is checked with the help of

    density of those soils. It is the density that controls the field compaction of soils.

    Permeability of soils depends upon its density. Relative density of cohesionless soils is

    determined by knowing the dry density of soil in natural, loosest and densest states. Void ratio,

    porosity and degree of saturation need the help of density of soil.

    Core cutter method in particular, is suitable for soft to medium cohesive soils, in which

    the cutter can be driven. It is not possible to drive the cutter into hard, boulder or murrumy soils.

    In such case other methods are adopted.

    Some important points:

    Used in case of non-cohesive soil.

    Cannot be used in case of hard and gravelly soils.

    Method consist of driving a core-cutter ( Volume= 1000cc) into the soil and

    removing it, the cutter filled with soil is weighed. Volume of cutter is known from

    its dimensions and in-situ weight is obtained by dividing soil weight by volume of

    cutter.

    If moisture content is known in laboratory, the dry unit weight can be

    computed.

  • Fig . 3.2 Core-cutter method for calculation of In-situ Density

    2. SAND REPLACEMENT METHOD Determination of field density of cohesion less soil is not possible by core cutter method,

    because it is not possible to obtain a core sample. In such situation, the sand replacement method

    is employed to determine the unit weight. In sand replacement method, a small cylindrical pit is

    excavated and the weight of the soil excavated from the pit is measured. Sand whose density is

    known is filled into the pit. By measuring the weight of sand required to fill the pit and knowing

    its density the volume of pit is calculated. Knowing the weight of soil excavated from the pit and

    the volume of pit, the density of soil is calculated. Therefore, in this experiment there are two

    stages, namely

    Calibration of sand density

    Measurement of soil density

    Fig. 3.3 Sand replacement method of unit weight

  • Some important points:

    Used in case of hard and gravelly soils.

    A hole in ground is made. The excavated soil is weighed. The volume of hole is

    determined by replacing it with sand. In-situ weight is obtained by dividing weight of

    excavated soil with volume of hole.

    3. WATER DISPLACEMENT METHOD

    Theory: A soil specimen of regular shape is coated with paraffin wax to make it impervious

    to water. The total volume (V1) of the waxed specimen is found by determining the volume of

    water displaced by the specimen. The volume of the specimen (V) is given by

    Where, = mass of waxed solid

    M= mass of the specimen without wax

    = density of paraffin.

    Dry density of specimen=

    Some important points:

    Suitable for cohesive soil only , where it is possible to have a lump sample.

    A regular shape, well- trimmed sample is weighed (W1). It is coated with paraffin wax

    & again weighed (W2). The sample is now placed in metal container filled with water upto the

    brim. Let the volume of displaced water be Vw. Then volume of uncoated specimen is

    calculated.

  • 3.2.3 SPECIFIC GRAVITY

    Specific gravity G is defined as the ratio of the weight of an equal volume of distilled

    water at that temperature both weights taken in air.

    Specific gravity of soil solids is written as

    Gs = s / w

    Where, s and w are the mass density, mass per unit volume, of the soil solids and water,

    respectively.

    A material with a specific gravity greater than water is denser than water so it will not

    float in water. Specific gravity is used in computations involving phase relationships that are

    expressed in terms of unit weight, where unit weight is defined as the weight of material per

    unit volume. The specific gravity of soil solids falls within the following ranges of values.

    Fig 3.4 Specific gravity of different soil

    Specific gravity may be determined by using the following method

    1. Specific Gravity by Water Pycnometer.

    2. Specific gravity by density bottle

  • 1. SPECIFIC GRAVITY BY WATER PYCNOMETER

    Theory: The Pycnometer method can be used for determination of the specific

    gravity of solid particles of both fine grained and coarse grained soils. The specific gravity

    of solids is determined using the relation:

    Where M1=mass of empty Pycnometer,

    M2= mass of the Pycnometer with dry Soil

    M3= mass of the Pycnometer and soil and water,

    M4 = mass of Pycnometer filled with water only.

    G= Specific gravity of solids

    Fig.3.5 Pycnometer method for Specific Gravity

  • 2. SPECIFIC GRAVITY BY DENSITY BOTTLE

    The specific gravity of solid particles is the ratio of the mass density of solids

    to that water.

    It is determined in the laboratory using the relation:

    Where M1 = mass of empty bottle.

    M2 = mass of the bottle and dry soil.

    M3 = mass of bottle, soil and water.

    M4 = mass of bottle filled with water only.

    Fig 3.6 specific gravity by density bottle

  • 3.2.4 CONSISTENCY

    Soil consistence provides a means of describing the degree and kind of cohesion

    and adhesion between the soil particles as related to the resistance of the soil to deform or

    rupture.

    Consistency and Atterberg limit

    Fig. 3.7 Atterberg limit of Soil

    Liquid Limit

    In the lab, the LL is defined as the moisture content (%) required to close a 2-mm

    wide groove in a soil pat a distance of 0.5 in along the bottom of the groove after

    25 blows.

    ASTM D 4318

    Soil sample size 150g passing through 40 microne sieve.

    Equipment: Casagrande liquid limit device.

  • Procedure

    We had taken 150 gm air dry soil passing through 40 micron sieve.

    Add 20% of water -mix thoroughly

    Place a small sample of soil in LL device (deepest part about 8-10mm) Cut

    a groove (2mm at the base)

    Run the device , count the number of blows, N

    Stop when the groove in the soil close through a distance of 0.5in

    Take a sample and find the moisture content

    Run the test three times [N~(10-20), N~(20-30) and N~(35-45)] and

    Plot number of blows vs moisture content and determine the liquid limit (LL) (moisture

    content at 25 blows)

    Fig. 3.8 Liquid limit cassagrande apparatus.

  • Plastic Limit

    The moisture content (%) at which the soil when rolled into threads of 3.2mm (1/8 in)

    in diameter, will crumble.

    Plastic limit is the lower limit of the plastic stage of soil.

    Plasticity Index (PI) is the difference between the liquid limit and plastic limit of a soil.

    Procedure:

    We had taken 20g of soil passing through 40 micron sieve into a dish.

    Added water and mixed thoroughly

    Prepared several ellipsoidal-shaped soil masses by quizzing the soil with your hand

    Put the soil in rolling device, and roll the soil until the thread reaches 1/8 in

    Continued rolling until the thread crumbles into several pieces

    Determined the moisture content of about 6g of the crumbled soil.

    Fig. 3.9 Plastic limit test

    PLASTICITY INDEX (PI)

    Plasticity Index is the difference between the liquid limit and plastic limit of a

    soil

    PI = LL PL

    After finding LL and PI use plasticity chart to classify the soil.

  • 3.2.5 GRAIN SIZE

    Soils are usually classified into various types. In many cases these various

    types also have different mechanical properties. A simple subdivision of soils is on

    the basis of the grain size of the particles that constitute the soil. Coarse granular

    material is often denoted as gravel and finer material as sand. In order to have a

    uniformly applicable terminology it has been agreed internationally to consider

    particles larger than 2 mm, but smaller than 63 mm as gravel. Larger particles are

    denoted as stones. Sand is the material consisting of particles smaller than 2 mm but

    larger than 0.063 mm Particles smaller than 0.063 mm and larger than 0.002 mm are

    denoted as silt. Soil consisting of even smaller particles, smaller than 0.002 mm, is

    denoted as clay or luthum.

    4.2 TESTING OF INDEX PROPERTIES OF SOIL

    Index properties are the properties of soil that help in identification and classification

    of soil. Water content, Specific gravity, Particle size distribution, In situ density (Bulk Unit

    weight of soil), Consistency Limits and relative density are the index properties of soil.

    These properties are generally determined in the laboratory. In situ density and relative

    density require undisturbed sample extraction while other quantities can be determined from

    disturbed soil sampling.

    Index properties of soil which are tested in laboratory are:

    1. In-Situ Density

    2. Moisture content

    3. Specific Gravity

    4. Sand Percentage

  • 5. Silt and Clay Percentage

    6. Liquid Limit

    7. Plastic Limit

    Some of the Index Properties of soil samples are calculated on the basis of relationships

    and Soil Phase (Two & Three) diagram, which are:

    1. Dry- Density of Soil

    2. Plasticity Index

    3. Percentage Void Ratio

    4. Porosity

    5. Air Content

    6. Air Void

    7. Degree of Saturation

    4.2.1 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIOUS SOIL PROPERTIES

    The following relationship between various soil properties can be useful for

    determination of other missing properties of soil (Jumikis 1965).

    For example, if specific gravity (G) and dry unit weight (gd) of soil are known then

    saturated unit weight (gsat), moisture content (w), porosity (n) and void ratio (e) can be

    determined by using the following relations (Jumikis 1965):

    Saturated unit weight,

    Where, gw = unit weight of water.

    Moisture content,

    Porosity,

    Void ratio,

  • 4.3 WORKING ON OPEN SOURCE QUANTUM-GIS (Q-GIS)

    b. It is also possible to group the different layers. Just right click in Layer bar and click on

    Add New group.

    c. You can rename the group by (right click over the group _ Rename) and add the required

    layer in that group by using simple drag and drop method.

    d. You can enable the context menu by right clicking on any of the layers. Context menu

    varies for different type of layers like, it may be different for raster and different for WMS

    layer. You can use various functionalities available in context menu for analysis of the

    desired layer.

    4) MAP VIEW

    It is very important component in QGIS. This section dedicated for displaying of

    vector or raster data. It is also referred as map canvas. Any function/tool that you perform

    through Menu bar, Tool bar, or in Legend, the result of the tool will be reflected in map

    view/canvas.

    5)STATUS BAR

    It displays the current coordinates, where the mouse pointer is pointed in map canvas.

    It also shows the scale of the map and map rendering option to enable or disable map

    rendering.

    Select and mark the outermost points, which are taken from GPS during the sampling.

    In our project there are total 9 outer most points.

    After this make polygon joining all the 9 points and save this in KML (Keyhole

    MarkUp Language).

    4.3.3 MAKING THEMATIC MAP IN Q-GIS

    Query in GIS is a logical expression that selects and displays only the features or the

    attributes satisfying the criteria defined by the user. This is a very useful tool for exploring

    the information and spatial patterns in the given data-sets. Queries are generally of two types

    'attribute query' and 'spatial query'. Attribute query is also known as 'aspatial query' purely

    depends up on the attribute information associated with geographical data-set. It uses

    relational operators and Boolean logic to get the desired results from the attributes of the

    data-sets. Spatial query selects geographical features based on location and spatial

    relationships. It uses spatial logic or spatial relationships among the datasets such as

    adjacency, intersect, within etc. In this tutorial we will focus on building attribute queries to

    retrieve the information in a useful form and export the results as new shape files.

  • 4.3.3.1 STEP FOR MAKING THEMATIC MAP

    1. First, we open Quantum GIS (QGIS) via the Start menu. (Start ) All Programs )

    QGIS Dufour _ QGIS Desktop 2.0.1)

    2. Add the vector layers of Pune and Beed by clicking on the 'Add Vector' or from the

    Menu bar (Layer ) Add Vector Layer) @ Click on 'browse' and Navigate to the data folder

    and select all shape files @ Click 'Open'.

    3) Since our query is related to population we have to use the shape file contains Soil

    index properties information, If we want to know about the moisture content in our data the

    shape file named 'moist_cnt.shp' contains Moisture content information.

    a) Open the Attribute table of 'moist_cnt.shp (Right click on the layer) Open Attribute Table).

    b) Search for the 'moist_cnt column in the attribute table.

  • c) Similar title bar will be seen in the attribute table.Click on 'moist_cnt.

    d) A triangle is seen next to title name. Triangle pointing upward indicates that the data in the

    column is in 'Ascending order and vice-versa. Arrange the data in ascending order for

    'moist_cnt'. So the first entry will have moisture content greater than 17.5, which we are

    looking for.

    e) Next step is to see this area spatially. Click on alt+A at the extreme left of the attribute

    table.

    Fig. 4.5 Processing of making map of moisture content greater than 17.5

    Note: In-order to view the results, we have to bring the 'Pune_beed_POP.shp' layer to the top

    under Map legend items (i.e., Layers catalog tree). To do this, click on 'Pune_beed_POP.shp'

    and drag it to the top.

  • f) The Area in yellow colour is the area having moisture content greater than 17.5.

    g) To create a new shape file of the selected area, right click on layer name i.e.

    ''moist_cnt.shp' under 'Layers' and click on Save Selection As. And the selected area is:
