We are building EduLadder(ELADR) - Protocol

The Eladr Protocol is a decentralized, security and efficiency enhanced Web3 noSQL database powered by IPFS as the data storage layer https://ipfs.io/, and the Cardano block chain as the rewards token platform, https://cardano.org/. It provides a JSON based, IPFS layer 2 solution for data indexing and retrieval in an 'append only' file system built with open source Node.js API libraries.

The ELADR token was designed to incentivize and reward community members as a proof of contribution. Token holders are also granted access to EduLadder.com premium features as well as associated ELADR token enabled apps.

How to study this subject


OBJECTIVE
After this course, the student is expected to identify basic deficiencies of various soil deposits
and he/she be in a position to decide various ways and means of improving the soil and
implementing techniques of improvement.
UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9
Role of ground improvement in foundation engineering - methods of ground improvement –
Geotechnical problems in alluvial, laterite and black cotton soils -Selection of suitable ground
improvement techniques based on soil condition.
UNIT II DRAINAGE AND DEWATERING 9
Drainage techniques - Well points - Vaccum and electroosmotic methods - Seepage analysis for
two dimensional flow-fully and partially penetrating slots in homogenous deposits (Simple cases
only).
UNIT III INSITU TREATMENT OF COHESIONLESS AND COHESIVE SOILS 9
Insitu densification of cohesionless and consolidation of cohesive soils -Dynamic compaction
and consolidation - Vibrofloation - Sand pile compaction - Preloading with sand drains and fabric
drains – Stone columns – Lime piles - Installation techniques only - relative merits of various
methods and their limitations.81
UNIT IV EARTH REINFORCEMENT 9
