OBJECTIVES:
 To classify the soil based on the soil index properties.
 To understand the soil characteristics due to the presence of water in soil.
 To estimate the stress distribution in soil and also know its behavior under compression.
 To estimate the shear strength parameters of soil using different laboratory tests.
 To analyze the stability of slopes using different methods and also to know the different slope
protection measures.
