valence cation - higher potential to have flocculated structureWhen double layer is larger swelling and shrinking potential is larger

Clay Mineralogy
Soils containing clay minerals tend to be cohesive and plastic.
Given the existence of a double layer, clay minerals have an affinity for water and hence has a potential for swelling (e.g. during wet season) and shrinking (e.g. during dry season). Smectites such as Montmorillonite have the highest potential Kaolinite has the
11
Montmorillonite have the highest potential, Kaolinite has the lowest.
Generally, a flocculated soil has higher strength, lower compressibility and higher permeability compared to a non-flocculated soil.
Sands and gravels (cohesionless ) : Relative density can be used to compare the same soil. However, the fabric may be different for a given relative density and hence the behaviour.

Soil Classification SystemsClassification may be based on – grain size, genesis, Atterberg Limits, behaviour, etc. In Engineering, descriptive or behaviour based classification is more useful than genetic classification.

Effective StressEffective stress is defined as the effective pressure that occurs at a specific point within a soil profileThe total stress is carried partially by the pore water and partially by the soil solids, the effective stress, σ’, is defined as the total stress, σt, minus the pore water pressure, u, σ' = σ − u

Effective Stress

Changes in effective stress is responsible for volume changeThe effective stress is responsible for producing frictional resistance between the soil solids
Therefore, effective stress is an important concept in geotechnical engineeringOverconsolidation ratio,

Vertical Stress Increase with DepthAllowable settlement, usually set by building codes, may control the allowable bearing capacityThe vertical stress increase with depth must be determined to calculate the amount of settlement that a foundation may undergo
Stress due to a Point LoadIn 1885, Boussinesq developed a mathematical relationship for vertical stress increase with depth inside a homogenous, elastic and
23
isotropic material from point loads as follows:

Vertical Stress Increase with DepthFor the previous solution, material properties such as Poisson’s ratio and modulus of elasticity do not influence the stress increase with depth, i.e. stress increase with depth is a function of geometry only.Boussinesq’s Solution for point load-

Stress due to Rectangular Load
The Boussinesq Equation may also be used to derive a relationship for stress increase below the corner of the footing from a flexible rectangular loaded area:

Concept of superposition may also be employed to find the stresses at various locations.

Newmark’s Influence Chart
The Newmark’s Influence Chart method consists of concentric circles drawn to scale, each square contributes a fraction of the stress In most charts each square contributes 1/200 (or 0.005) units of stress (influence value, IV)Follow the 5 steps to determine the
28
Follow the 5 steps to determine the stress increase:1. Determine the depth, z, where you
wish to calculate the stress increase
2. Adopt a scale of z=AB3. Draw the footing to scale and place
the point of interest over the center of the chart
4. Count the number of elements that fall inside the footing, N
5. Calculate the stress increase as:

Simplified MethodsThe 2:1 method is an approximate method of calculating the apparent “dissipation” of stress with depth by averaging the stress increment onto an increasingly bigger loaded area based on 2V:1H.This method assumes that the stress increment is constant across the area (B+z)·(L+z) and equals zero outside this area.The method employs simple geometry of an increase in stress
29
increase in stress proportional to a slope of 2 vertical to 1 horizontalAccording to the method, the increase in stress is calculated as follows:
