SoilSoil
Originated from the Latin word Solum Different meaning for Different Professions
Agriculturist The top thin layer of earth within which organic forces are
predominant and which is responsible for the support of plant life
Geologist The material in the top thin zone within which roots occur.p
Engineer soil includes all earth materials organic and inorganic occurring in soil includes all earth materials, organic and inorganic, occurring in

Different Rock TypesDifferent Rock Types
Based on the mode of origin 3 types Igneous Rocks
formed by the solidification of the molten magma ejected from deep within the earth's mantlethe earth s mantle
Depending on type of minerals present in magma and rate of cooling different types of igneous rocks are formed
Sedimentary Rock Soil deposits transformed back into rocks through hardening process
Clastic rocks Carbonates
Metamorphic Rock Metamorphic Rock Metamorphisum the process of changing the composition and
texture of rocks without melting by heat and pressuretexture of rocks, without melting, by heat and pressure
Rock cyclesRock cycles

SoilsSoils
Residual soils Rock weathering products located at the place where they
originated Not common
Transported soilsp Transported from the place of origin By wind, water, ice or any other agencyy , , y g y
Characteristics of soil such as size of particles their shape, roundness, surface texture and degree of sorting areroundness, surface texture and degree of sorting are influenced by agency of transportation
Residual soilsResidual soils
When rock weathering process is faster than the transport process
Retains many of the characteristics of the parent rocky p Tropical regions
Very thick residual soils (~ 100s of meters) over unweathered Very thick residual soils ( 100s of meters) over unweathered rock Called Literites – cemented with iron oxides having high dry strengthg g y g
Cooler and more arid regions Much thinner layers (may be no residual soil) Much thinner layers (may be no residual soil)
Soil type depends on parent rock D p d it d id l il Decomposed granite- sandy residual soil Shale type sedimentary rock - clayey residual soils
Different soils based on depositionDifferent soils based on deposition
Alluvial Deposits From suspension of running water
Lacustrine Depositsp Suspensions in still and fresh water of lakes
Marine Deposits Marine Deposits Sea water suspensions
A li D it Aeolian Deposits Transported by wind
Glacial Deposits Transported by ice
Effects of Transportation on Sediments (L b & Whit 1969)Effects of Transportation on Sediments (Lambe & Whitman 1969)
Alluvial SoilsAlluvial Soils
Transported to their present position by rivers or streams Very common Contains extensive ground water aquifers Contains extensive ground water aquifers When flow is rapid
Sil d l i i i Silts and clays remain in suspension Only sands, gravels, and boulders deposited
f f If flow is slow More of finer soils also deposited
Alluvial soils often contain alternating horizontal layers of different soil types Formation of different soils during different seasons due to
different flow rates
Alluvial fans Deposits formed at the foot of a canyon Common in arid regions
In steep terrains Large boulders are carried by waterLarge boulders are carried by water Subsequently covered with finer soils Causes extensive problems when attempted for exploratory Causes extensive problems when attempted for exploratory
borings or to make excavations or drive pile foundations
Most alluvial soils have moderately good engineering Most alluvial soils have moderately good engineering properties
Typically provide fair to good support for buildings and Typically provide fair to good support for buildings and other structures
Lacustrine soilsLacustrine soils
Deposited beneath lakes May still be under water Or exposed due to lowering of lake water level
Primarily silt and clay Suitability for foundation ranges from poor to average Suitability for foundation ranges from poor to average
Marine soilsMarine soils
Deposited underwater in the ocean Deltas
Formed where rivers meet larger bodies of waterg Creates flat terrain – water flows very slowly Primarily silts and clays,--- very softPrimarily silts and clays, very soft
Beach sands – typically poorly graded, well rounded and looseloose
Deeper marine deposits M if More uniform
Often contain organic material from marine organisms
Most lacustrine and marine soils are very uniform and consistent
Engg. Properties are often poor but may be more gg p p ypredictable than the other more erratic soils
Aeolian soilsAeolian soils
Deposited by wind Produces very poorly graded soils
Due to strong sorting power of windg g p
Usually very loose Onl fair engineering properties Only fair engineering properties Three types of wind induced transport
Suspension Lifting individual silt particles to high altitude and transport
S l i Saltation Intermediate process—soil particles temporarily airborne and then fall
backback
Creep Occurs in particles too large to airborne – medium to coarse sands
Modes of sediment transport by the wind (after Pye, 1987)1987)

Colluvial soilsColluvial soils
Transported down by gravity Two types of movement
Slow In the order of mm per year, called CREEP
Rapidp Landslides or mudflows
Major Indian SoilsMajor Indian Soils
Black cotton soilsi i M h h G j M dh P d h K k f occurring in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka,parts of
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. These are expansive in nature. On account of high swelling and shrinkage p g g g
potential these are difficult soils to deal with in foundation design
Marine soils occurring in a narrow belt all along the coast, especially in the Rann of Kutch.
These are very soft and sometimes contain organic matter, possess low strength and high compressibility.g g p y
Desert soils, occurring in Rajasthan. These are deposited by wind and are uniformly graded.
Alluvial soils occurring in the Indo-Gangetic plain, north of the Vindhyachal ranges.
Lateritic soils, occurring in Kerala, South Maharashtra, Karnataka, Orissa and West Bengal.
