TYPES AND EFFECTS OF FLOW ON PROPERTIES OF SOIL

BY SAMAILA SALEH (1771310009) M. TECH. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING BEING A SEMINAR PAPER ON GEOMECHANICS AND SOIL BEHAVIOR LECTURER: Ms. JANANI APRIL , 2014

INTRODUCTION
Many geotechnical problems involved flow of matter and energy through soils Matter: water, ions suspended solids, etc Energy: heat, electricity

Water flow

Electrical flow
Electrical flow are important to transport of water and ground stabilization by electro-osmosis, insulation and sub-surface investigation

Chemicals flow

Thermal flow

Flow laws and relationships

Conduction analogy

Effect hydraulic flow on soil properties

Example of practical application of electro osmosis for damp proofing

Problems of heat flow analysis

Attention will be given to the: thermal property of soil, analysis of depth of frost penetration and frost action in soil

Thermal conductivity of several materials

And

Or

Condition for ice formation

Freezing application in tunneling
