Its Classification
Soils are formed by weathering of rocks due to Mechanical disintegration or Chemical decomposition. When rock surface are exposed to atmosphere for considerable period of time,
( contineous heating and cooling of rock ) result in disintegrates or decomposes to form soil.
Formation of Soil also happens due to physical reaction and chemical reaction over the surface

What is Compaction?
Compaction is said to be compression of soil by expulsion of air from voids. It is a quick process, requires short term loading. Dynamic loading is applied during compaction, both cohesion and cohesionless soil can be compacted. Compaction is always done to get maximum dry density, which helps in improving bearing capacity. Compaction is done before start of construction.Sathya Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407222760846292220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719545294714687256.post-53722353694599417392020-04-09T19:35:00.002+05:302020-04-09T19:35:51.663+05:30How to calculate number of Bricks, Cement and Sand for Brickwork Construction ?

Clay
Cohesion is said to be attraction between particle of same type or origin, type of soil where there is inter-particular attraction. In these type of soil particles are very fine and it is governed by surface fore rather than its self weight. Also, the friction between the soil will not happen hence shear strength will be contributed by only cohesive force and not internal friction.
