Soils Part 2: Working through examples
Engineering Properties of Soils
• Soil Mechanics– Algebraic relationships
• Vm, Va, Vv, Vw, Vs
• Wm, Wa, Ww, Ws
– Examples• Solution for water content (w)
• Solution of void ratio (e)
• Effect of water table level on effective pressure

Engr. Properties of Soils: Example # 2
Engineering Properties
• Corrosion– Chemical decomposition– Affects fixtures such as culverts, cables and
pipes– Depend on soil resistivity (low R-values have
high corrosion potential)
• Ease of excavation– Procedures for removal during construction– Excavation vs. blasting (definition)
Expansive Soils
Expansion results from changes in cation hydration envelopes; improves when Ca+2 replaces Na+1
Pure Montmorillonite may expand up to 15x original volume!
Engineering Properties
• Shrink-swell potential (expansive)– >3% volume increase potentially hazardous– Gain or loss of water (PI)– Clay mineralogy (smectites)/sulfate soils– About $3 billion in losses/yr. (Most expensive)
– Common problem in parts of Florida– Treatments
• Avoidance, Removal (Nationwide building)• Slaked/hydrated lime (I-75 at Payne's Prairie)• Portland Cement (sandy soils)• Calcium chloride

Engineering Propertiesof Soil
Rates of Soil Erosion (Universal Soil Loss Equation)
Sediment Pollution -The greatest source of pollution.
Land Use and Environmental Problems of Soils– Urbanization
• Increased erosion during construction• Increased run-off after construction• Increased stream erosion due to decreased sediment load and increased run-
off
– Off-Road Vehicles (snowmobiles, mountain bikes)• Dunes and forests • Damaging vegetation
Land Use Changes
Soil Pollution
• Times Beach Missouri(dioxin)• Alachua and High Springs (EDB)• Cabot Carbon Superfund site• School on landfill• Inadvertent or deliberate• Treatment
– On-site– Excavation– Bioremediation
Desertification• Symptoms
– Declining water table– Salinization of soil and water– Decrease in surface drainage– High rates of soil erosion– Damage to native vegetation
• Minimization– Protect and improve arable land– Protect from overgrazing; increase restoration efforts– Apply soil conservation practices– Appropriate technology (less intense)
Desertification
Soil Surveys and Land-Use Planning
• Soils affect the best use of land• Properties are mappable features• Geohazards may be mapped or imaged• Geographic Information Systems
– Features identify "best uses" area – Exclude areas(paleo-sinkholes at landfill site)
• Must be done on a large enough scale to be effective (satellite, SLAR, LIDAR)
