Soil Mechanics
Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology
Course material that starts from what soil actually is to an engineer and builds up through index properties, classification, permeability, compaction and shear strength. Diagrams and solved problems throughout, which makes it useful for exam preparation.

Advanced Soil MechanicsGraduate level notes on one, two and three dimensional consolidation theory, consolidation in layered soils and under time dependent loading, and the strength behavior of soils through Mohr circles and triaxial test interpretation. Assumes you already have the fundamentals.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Elementary Soils Engineering
A short, practical chapter on identifying and classifying soils in the field, with the Unified Soil Classification System explained step by step and photographs of the manual tests engineers fall back on when no laboratory is available.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual
Eleven standard laboratory experiments written as procedures you can follow at the bench: moisture content, specific gravity, in situ density, sieve and hydrometer analysis, consistency limits, permeability, compaction and shear strength. Each one lists apparatus, method and the calculation sheet.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Shallow Foundations
Bearing capacity and settlement of footings and mats, covering both soil and rock bearing surfaces, how to pick design parameters out of field and laboratory data, and the construction issues that decide whether the design actually performs. Includes complete worked examples.
