What is SBC?
It is Safe Bearing Capacity of soil
The law which states that within elastic limits strain produced is proportional to the stress producing it is known as
Hooke’s law
What is the factor of safety?
Factor of safety is the ratio of ultimate stress to the permissible stress.
Define Compaction
It is the process to improve the density of soil
Limit of proportionality depends upon
proportionality limit
Concrete is filled in how many layers in slump cone in slump test.
4 layers
It is the effect of soil due to the applicationof load
Modulus of elasticity, E is calculated using:
E=5000
