Permeability of Stratified Soils: Vane Shear Test

This document discusses different types of soils and their properties. It also discusses various methods used for boring or advancing boreholes in soils. The key types of soils mentioned are alluvial soil deposited by rivers, marine soil deposited by sea water, lacustrine soil deposited in still waters like lakes, aeolian soil deposited by wind, and glacial soil deposited by ice. It also discusses properties of soils like density, void ratio, saturation, activity, permeability, and consolidation. The document concludes by describing three main methods of boring - auger boring used in sands, silts and clays up to 6m depth, wash boring which gives disturbed samples, and percussion boring which uses heavy drilling bits with hammer action.
