SOFT SOIL:
1. These are compressible soils.
2. They deform under loading.
3. These are clayey soil.
4. These soil is suitable for ordinary constructions.

SPREADING SOIL
These are non cohesive soil.
They try to spread under loading conditions.
Sand, gravel and murrum are examples.
If spreading can be prevented then load can be applied.

HARD SOIL
These are incompressible soil.
These are suitable for heavy loading without yielding.
Solid rocks, stony soils are the examples.
Multistory buildings, water tanks can be built with out
any soil alteration.

COARSE-GRAINED SOIL
These soils consists of mineral fragments and easily it
can be identified.
Gravel and sand are the best examples.
It can be further classified into fine, medium ,or coarse.
Grains may be rounded, sub-rounded or sub-angular.
Other minerals like shale or clay may be present but it
can be identified by using magnifying glass.

FINE GRAINED SOIL
In fine grained soils, mineral identification is not
possible with the aid of equipments.
Silt and clay are the best examples.
It can be classified further as organic and inorganic soil
based on presence and absence of organic material
respectively.
Grain size, plasticity are some of the physical properties.

1. COARSE GRAINED:
In the total mass of soil, half of the soil mass having particle size larger than 75micron IS sieve size.
2. FINE GRAINED:
In the total mass of soil, half of the soil mass having particle size smaller than 75micron IS sieve size.
3. HIGHLY ORGANIC SOIL:
These soil contain large percentage of fibrous organic matter like peat and decomposed vegetation.

4.BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL
➢ As the load of any structure is finally transmitted
to the soil laying below the foundation of the
structure. Hence it is important to know the
strength and behavior of the soil.
![Page 12: 1.CLASSIFICATION OF SOILSdte.karnataka.gov.in/Institutes/gptraichur/FileHandler/... · based on presence and absence of organic material ... Grain size, plasticity are some of the](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060819/6098b0a7dd5ce8003967c80a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CONTINUED……
➢ Bearing capacity of soil is defined as load
carrying capacity of the soil over it per unit area
without causing excessive settlement and
displacement.
➢ Bearing capacity of soil depends on properties of
soil like cohesiveness, particle size and
compactness etc.
➢ Bearing capacity also depends on moisture
content present in the soil.

4.1 ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY
➢ It is defined as maximum load that can be
applied on the soil with out any failure.
4.2 SAFE BEARING CAPACITY
➢It is defined as permissible load applied on unit
area with out causing failure of the soil.

6. DETERMINATION OF SAFE BEARING
CAPACITY OF SOIL
6.1 PLATE LOAD TEST METHOD:
1. This is the field test for determining the ultimate
bearing capacity of soil.
2. Bearing capacity of soil can be determined by placing
steel plate at the foundation level.
3. Record the settlement corresponding to each load
increment.
4. The load is increased gradually till the plate sinks at
rapid rate.
5. The total value of load above the plate is noted and
divided by the area of the steel plate. It gives the
ultimate bearing capacity of soil.

6.2 PROCEDURE
➢ Earth is excavated at the site where foundation is to be
laid.
➢ Width of pit should be at least greater than 5 times the
width of test plate.
➢ At the centre a small depression is made which is equal
to bearing plate.
➢ The dimensions of test plate is not greater than 25mm
(thickness) and size 300 to 750mm.
➢ Load is applied to the test plate through column centrally
placed and load applied with the help of hydraulic jack.
➢ The load applied by using gravity loading of reaction
truss method.

CONTINUED…..
➢ The settlement of plate is noted by means of dial gauges
mounted on independent datum bar.
➢ A graph is plotted against settlement and load intensity
(ton per meter square).

7. METHODS OF IMPROVING THE SAFE
BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL (SBC)
1. Compacting the soil:
It can be done in two ways
1.1 By hand Compaction by spreading broken stones or
gravel or sand and ramming well in the bed of trenches.
1.2 By driving piles either of wood or concrete or driving
and removed, sand is filled in the then and rammed.

2. Increasing depth of the foundation: This method is
uneconomical as the depth increases SBC of soil
increases.

intensity of pressure which helps in increase in load
carrying capacity.

just below the foundation. It is the best method at water
logged areas.
