About soil mechanics mind maps
GoConqr OriginalUsing Soil Mechanics mind maps
These maps organise soil mechanics topics into connected points. Start with Strength if you want to review frictional and cohesive strength, or choose the map on soil compaction for an outline of density and air voids. For fieldwork topics, Subsoil Exploration brings together boring methods, sampling and sample disturbance.
The collection also includes maps on effective stress, flow nets and settlement. Soil liquefaction and Ground Improvement Techniques offer other topics to explore.
Revise with a map
Choose a map and follow its branches, then try to recall the connections without looking. Return to any branch you find difficult and compare it with a related map. If you want to practise recalling individual terms, switch to flashcards on the unit page; use a quiz when you want to test your understanding. Choose a map and follow a topic through its branches.
Frequently asked questions
Which mind map should I start with?
Start with Strength if you want to review frictional and cohesive strength and the factors affecting frictional strength. For a different topic, try Subsoil Exploration, which groups boring methods, sampling and sample disturbance. Choose the map that matches the part of the unit you are revising.
What topics do the mind maps cover?
The maps cover compaction, consolidation, soil strength, effective stress and flow nets. There are also resources on subsoil exploration, stress distribution, ground improvement and soil liquefaction. You can choose a focused topic or compare related maps to see how their points are organised.
Are these mind maps free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The maps were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
