    Hi Nigel,

    Welcome to theconstructor.org . I understand your requirements.

    • Scoring is defined as a process due to which the soil or rock particles around the abutments periphery or periphery of the pier of the highway bridges spanning are gets corroded and removed up to a certain depth which is called scour depth. Scoring can easily be observed.
    • Scoring is not the term related to pavement and concrete.
    • To avoid the removal of subgrade below the concrete for bituminous pavement is shoulders must be provided. Also, the embankment must be provided with proper slope and suitable method of stiffening and compacting should be adopted.

    The most economical method of compacting is uses of bamboos and root fibres in the soil which makes it steep compact and highly tensile resistant.

    Generally, shear strength is a term used in soil mechanics to describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. The shear resistant of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts. Due to interlocking, particulate material may expand or contract in volume as it is subject to shear strength. If soil expands its volume, the density of particles will decrease and the strength will decrease; in this case the peak strength would be followed by a reduction of shear stress.

    Geopolymer concrete:

    Actually, the geopolymer gel forms the C-S-H gel in concrete cement. C-S-H stands for calcium silicate hydrate gel, it is formed when water is added to the cement and hydration process will take place.

    The response period is very quick and the river relieving period should be in between 24 to 48 hours.

    Geopolymer concrete is manufactured with the help of waste material like fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag.

    First, we have to process the fly ash as well as ground granulated blast furnace slag before its actual use to make polymer concrete.

    Thank you.

As the consolidation process continues, water will be expelled out. Why is the degree of saturation of soil treated as constant throughout the consolidation process?

    The degree of saturation denotes the actual relationship between the weight of moisture existing in a space and the weight that would exist if the space were saturated. It can be also said as the percentage of water that occupies the pore spaces present in soil and is said to be degree of saturationRead more

    The degree of saturation denotes the actual relationship between the weight of moisture existing in a space and the weight that would exist if the space were saturated.

    It can be also said as the percentage of water that occupies the pore spaces present in soil and is said to be degree of saturation. Basically, the soil has three phases soil solid, water and air. If the pore and void space in the soil is fully occupied by water, then it is fully saturated and the degree of saturation is 100%. If the void space in the soil is partially occupied by water, then it is said to be partially saturated.
