Soil Mechanics

• Uloga mehanike tla
• Tri faze u tlu
• Voda u tlu: vodopropusnost i kapilarnost, smrzavanje tla, porni tlak
• Voda u tlu: strujanje vode u tlu, uzgon i strujni tlak
• Naprezanja u tlu
• Hidraulički slom
• Klasifikacija i pokazatelji stanja tla
• Stišljivost tla i slijeganje horizontalno uslojenog tla
• TEST
• Case histories
• Ispitivanje tla
• Čvrstoća tla
• Stabilnost kosina: beskonačna kosina
• TEST
• Case histories
• Stabilnost kosina općenito
• Klizišta
• Stabiliziranje klizišta
• TEST
• Case histories

1. identify soil
2. classify soil
3. calculate effective stress in horizontally stratified soil without water flow or with vertical flow
4. estimate settlement of horizontally stratified soil due to uniformly distributed load or water level change
5. estimate strength parameters according to Mohr-Coulomb criterion based on direct shear results
6. identify causes of slope instability
7. calculate factor of safety for sliding by using the infinite slope model or GeoSlope software in different conditions
8. estimate stability of an infinite slope and slope in homogeneous soil
9. identify hazard of hydraulic failure of the foundation pit bottom
10. comment on geotechnical report
