Lecture

Soil Mechanics: Oedometer Testing and Soil Deformation

Description

This lecture covers the principles of soil mechanics, focusing on oedometer testing and soil deformation. Topics include uniaxial deformation state, Hooke's law, Young's modulus for different soil types, oedometer curve characteristics, and overconsolidation of soils. The instructor explains the relationship between stress and strain, the calculation of oedometer modulus, and the effects of overconsolidation on soil behavior.
