Role of soil testing in Geotechnical engineering. Basic concept of stress path and its representation in various spaces, and its simulation to practical problems. Analysis of soil behaviour, Kondner s hyperbolic stress-strain response and its application. Evaluation of various elastic constants for practical use. Stability of embankments on clayey soils. Design of berms. Stage construction. Design of sand-drain system. Stress distribution under earth embankments and evaluation of settlement profile. Landslides and their classification. Stability analysis of natural slopes. Different stability analysis models. Limit state analysis of slopes. Earthquake loading considerations. Deep excavations, dewatering operations, drainage, methods of stabilizing slopes. Design of filter, rock toe.
