Relation between elastic constants
You must be knowing different elastic constants, like the modulus of elasticity, rigidity, bulk modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. These are different elastic moduli having different meanings. But all these elastic

Homogenous and Isotropic material
Before starting the strength of the material, you need to clearly understand homogenous and isotropic material as you keep making these assumptions about the material. In this post, you will
What is so quick in quicksand?
You often come across the phrase quicksand while reading the geotechnical engineering. And you might have been thinking, what is so quick in quicksand? So let’s discuss what quicksand is
What makes you walk in the sand near the seashore?
You may have tried to walk in the sand, but it is challenging. But the same sand near sea shore is hard enough to run even a truck. In general
Hooke’s law- A Stress-Strain Relationship | Formula & Explanation
If you are looking for Hooke’s law, you must be familiar with the stress-strain behavior of the material. We plot the stress versus strain curve for the material to know
What is the modulus of rigidity?
While reading the strength of the material, we come across different moduli. One of these moduli is the modulus of rigidity. In this article, we will see the definition of
Index Properties of soil
Soil varies from place to place and hence its properties also. It is really impossible to test all type of soil for evaluation of engineering properties of soil as it
Stability analysis of finite and infinite slope
Slope as show in the Fig 1 may be artificial or natural. Some examples of slopes are cutting, embankment of highways, hillside, valley etc. In all the cases soil want
What is stress??
Definition of stress Before defining stress at a point we must set the stage for the definition. Consider we have a deformable body, and this body bis in static equilibrium
Stages of construction of pile foundation for the bridge
You know the purpose of foundation is to transfer the load into the soil. Foundations do that work for us. But when the soil below the building does not posses
