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
Perpetual Motion Machine – First, Second & Third kind
What if I say there is a machine that produces energy continuously without any energy input? What if I say there is a machine that is 100% efficient? The answers
What are the soil classifications?
Soil classifications is a very important part of engineering. The main aim of this is to divide the broad category of soil into a small subcategory. Soil classification also helps
