Soil Exploration
“ The process of exploring to characterize or define small scale properties of substrata at construction sites is unique to geotechnical engineering.
In other engineering disciplines, material properties are specified during design, or before construction or manufacture, and then controlled to meet the specification. Unfortunately, subsurface properties cannot be specified; they must be deduced through exploration.” Charles H. Dowding (1979).

Center of Gravity
Center of Lines, Areas, and Volume
Center of composite Bodies
Determining the centroid by integration
3. Centroid:
Centroid is defined as the point of the geometric center of an
object, where the density is wholly distributed over the body.
Fig.1. Centroid of triangle
The point where the cutout is balanced perfectly is the center of the
object.
4. The center of gravity is defined as the exact place in a body
around which the instants due to gravity are regarded as
zero.
It is the point at which the entire body is perfectly balanced in
relation to gravity.
It is the point where the gravitational force or weight of the
body acts in any orientation of the body.
5. The center of gravity is abbreviated as C.G or simply G.
The gravitational field always affects the center of gravity
because when the gravitational field’s value varies, the
center of gravity’s value changes.
Fig. 2. Point of center of gravity
6. A body is composed of an infinite number of particles of differential size.
When the body is located within a gravitational field each of these particles
have a weight 𝑑𝑊.
These weights form a parallel force system.
The resultant of this system is the total weight of the body, which passes
through a single point called the center of gravity, 𝐺
Fig. 3. classification of force
7. To determine the location of the center of gravity of any body,
the principle of moments is applied to the parallel system of
gravitational forces.
The moment of the resultant gravitational force 𝑊 about any
axis equals the sum of the moments about the same axis of the
gravitational forces 𝑑𝑊 acting on all particles of infinitesimal
elements of the body.
If the principle of moment is applied about the y-axis:
𝑥𝑊 = 𝑥𝑤 , 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛
𝑥 =
𝑥𝑤
𝑊
, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑧 𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜, 𝑦 =
𝑦𝑤
𝑊
, 𝑧 =
𝑧𝑤
𝑊
8. The center of mass is defined as the position at which the entire
body is directed.
The mass distribution is considered uniform around the center of
the mass.
Since the center of mass is independent of the gravitational field
the body remains unaffected by change in the gravitational
field’s force.
In a simple rigid bodies with uniform density, the center of mass
is located at the center or centroid.
In order to study the dynamic response or accelerated motion of
a body knowing the location of center of mass of the body is
important.
9. With the substitution of 𝑊 = 𝑚𝑔 and 𝑑𝑊 = 𝑔𝑑 the expressions for
the coordinates of the center of gravity become:
𝑥 =
𝑥𝑑𝑚
𝑚
𝑦 =
𝑦𝑑𝑚
𝑚
𝑧 =
𝑧𝑑𝑚
𝑚
their respective position vectors:
𝑟 = 𝑥𝒊 + 𝑦𝒋 + 𝑧𝒌
𝒓 = 𝑥𝒊 + 𝑦𝒋 + 𝑧𝒌
𝒓 =
𝑟𝑚
𝑚
10. The major distinction between center of gravity and the
center of mass is that the center of gravity is the position at
which the entire body weight is balanced.
While the center of mass is the position at which the entire
mass of the body is directed.
11. Difference between center of mass and center of gravity.
Center of Mass Center of Gravity
Is the point where mass distribution is
uniform in all directions.
Is the point where weight is evenly
distributed in all direction.
Is based on the mass of the body Is based on the weight of the body
It is the center where the entire
bodily mass is concentrated
It is the point at which the body’s
entire weight is suspended
Mass of the body is distributed
uniformly throughout the body
Weight of the body is distributed
uniformly throughout the body.
When the body moves from left to
right mass operating to the left side is
equals to mass acting to on the right
side.
When the body travels on an axis
from left to right weight on the left
side is equals with weight on the right
side.
Change in gravitational field has no
effect on it
Change in gravitational field has
effect on it.

12. For a slender rod or wire of length L, cross-sectional area A, and
density 𝜌, the body is approximated as a line segment, and 𝑑𝑚 = 𝜌𝐴𝑑𝐿.
If 𝜌 and 𝐴 are constant over the length of the rod, the coordinates of the
center of mass becomes the coordinates of the centroid 𝐶 of the line
segment. Thus,
𝒙 =
𝒙𝒅𝑳
𝑳
𝒚 =
𝒚𝒅𝑳
𝑳
𝒛 =
𝒛𝒅𝑳
𝑳
13. If a line segment (or rod) lies within the x–y plane and described by a
thin curve 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥), as shown in the figure below, then its centroid is
determined from:
𝒙 =
𝒙𝒅𝑳
𝑳
𝒚 =
𝒚𝒅𝑳
𝑳
14. The length of the differential element is given by the Pythagorean
theorem:
𝒅𝑳 = 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 + 𝒅𝒚 𝟐
This can be written as:
𝒅𝑳 =
𝒅𝒙
𝒅𝒙
𝟐
𝒅𝒙 𝟐 +
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
𝟐
𝒅𝒙 𝟐 = 𝟏 +
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙

𝒅𝒙
In other way:
𝒅𝑳 =

𝒅𝒚
𝟐
𝒅𝒚 𝟐 +
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒚
𝟐
𝒅𝒚 𝟐 =
𝒅𝒙
𝒅𝒚

+ 𝟏 𝒅𝐲
15. When a body of density𝜌 has a small but constant thickness 𝑡, the body
can model as a surface area 𝐴.
The mass of an element becomes 𝑑𝑚 = 𝜌𝑡𝑑𝐴.
If 𝜌 and 𝑡 are constant over the entire area, the coordinates of the
center of mass of the body becomes the coordinates of the centroid C
of the surface area. Thus,
𝑥 =
𝑥𝑑𝐴
𝐴
𝑦 =
𝑦𝑑𝐴
𝐴
𝑧 =
𝑧𝑑𝐴
𝐴
The numerators in the equations are the first moments of area.
16. For a general body of volume 𝑉 and density 𝜌, the element has a mass
𝑑𝑚 = 𝜌𝑑𝑉.
The density 𝜌 cancels if it is constant over the entire volume.
The coordinates of the center of mass also become the coordinates of
the centroid C of the body. Thus,
𝒙 =
𝒙𝒅𝑽
𝑽
𝒚 =
𝒚𝒅𝑽
𝑽
𝒛 =
𝒛𝒅𝑽
𝑽
17. Principles used to choose the differential element and setting up the
integrals to simplify difficulties in the determination of centroid:
Order of Element: a first-order differential element should be selected
rather a higher-order element which cover the entire figure by a single
integration.
Example:
A 1st order horizontal strip of area 𝑑𝐴 = 𝑙𝑑𝑦 requires only one integration with respect
to y to cover the entire figure.
The second-order element 𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑥 requires two integrations, with respect to x & y, to
cover the entire figure.
18. A 1st order element in the form of a circular slice of volume 𝑑𝑉 = 𝜋𝑟2
𝑑𝑦
requires only one integration, & is preferable rather to choose a 3rd
order element 𝑑𝑉 = 𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦𝑑𝑧, which require three integrations..
19. Continuity:
Choose an element which can be integrated in one continuous
operation to cover the entire figure.
Example:
To determine the centroid the horizontal strip is preferable to the vertical
strip, which, requires two separate integrals because of the discontinuity
in the expression for the height of the strip at 𝑥 = 𝑥1.
20. Discarding Higher-Order Terms:
Higher order terms should be dropped compared with lower-order
terms.
Example:
In the figure above the vertical strip of area under the curve is given by
the first-order term 𝑑𝐴 = 𝑦𝑑𝑥, and the second-order triangular area
1 2 𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦 is discarded. In the limit, of course, there is no error.
21. Choice of Coordinates:
Choose the coordinate system which best matches the boundaries of
the figure.
Example:
The boundaries of the area in the 1st figure is easily described in
rectangular coordinates, whereas the boundaries of the circular sector
in the 2nd figure is best suited to polar coordinates.
22. Centroidal Coordinate of differentials Element:
When a 1st or 2nd order differential element is chosen, it is essential to
use the coordinate of the centroid of the element for the moment arm in
expressing the moment of the differential element.
Example:
𝑥 =
𝑥𝑐 𝑑𝐴
𝐴
𝑦 =
𝑦𝑐 𝑑𝐴
𝐴
𝑥 =
𝑥𝑐 𝑑𝑉

𝑧 =
𝑧𝑐 𝑑𝑉

The co-ordinate system is polar coordinates.
Take the differential element length of the arc is 𝐝𝐋 = 𝒓𝒅𝜽
24. The total length of the arc is:

to 𝑥 = 𝑎
Solution:
Two methods of solution:
I. A vertical differential element is taken as the differential area:
Take the differential stripe area 𝑑𝐴 = 𝑦𝑑𝑥
37. #6 Determine the y-coordinate of the centroid of the shaded area.
Check your result for the special case 𝑎 = 0.
Solution:
The y-axis is chosen as axis of symmetry. ∴ 𝑥 = 0
The co-ordinate system is cartesian coordinates.

42. A composite body consists of a series of connected “simpler” shaped
bodies, which may be rectangular, triangular, semicircular, etc.
The body can be sectioned or divided into its composite parts.
The weight and location of the center of gravity of each of these parts
are known.
This avoids the need for integration to determine the center of gravity
for the entire body.
Composite body

∑𝑚𝑦𝑐
∑𝑚
𝑧 =
∑𝑚𝑧𝑐

𝑚1 + 𝑚2 + 𝑚3 𝑥 = 𝑚1𝑥1 + 𝑚2𝑥2 + 𝑚3𝑥3
43. In practice the boundaries of an area or volume might not be
expressible in terms of simple geometrical shapes as shapes which can
be represented mathematically.
For such cases method of approximation is used to determine centroid
of a body.
𝑚1 + 𝑚2 + 𝑚3 𝑥 = 𝑚1𝑥1 + 𝑚2𝑥2 + 𝑚3𝑥3
44. Example: #1. Centroid C of the irregular area
Example: #2. The centroid C of an irregular volume
𝑥 =
∑𝐴𝑥𝑐
∑𝐴
𝑥 =
∑𝐴𝑥𝑐
∑𝐴
𝑥 =
∑ 𝐴∆𝑥 𝑥𝑐
∑ 𝐴∆𝑥
𝑥 =

∑𝑉
45. To determine location of the center of gravity or the centroid of a
composite geometrical object represented by a line, area, or volume:
Using a sketch, divide the body or object into a finite number of
composite parts of simpler shapes.
Composite body with a hole is considered as body without the hole
and the hole as an additional composite part having negative weight
or size.
Establish the coordinate axes on the sketch and determine the
coordinates 𝑥𝑐, 𝑦𝑐 & 𝑧𝑐 of the center of gravity or centroid of each
part.
Determine 𝑥, 𝑦 & 𝑧 by applying the center of gravity equations.
If an object is symmetrical about an axis, the centroid of the object
lies on this axis.
46. #3. Locate the centroid of the shaded area.
Solution:
The object is divided into four parts.
48. #7. Determine the x- and y- coordinates of the centroid of the shaded
area.
Solution:
The co-ordinate system is cartesian coordinates.
Take the differential element area of the triangle is 𝐝𝐀 = 𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 𝒅𝒙.
49. Centroid of the shaded area can be evaluated as:
𝐀𝒙 = 𝒙𝐜𝐝𝑨 , ⇒ 𝒙 𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑑𝑥 = 𝒙 𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑑𝑥
From the given equation:
𝑦1 = 𝑎𝑥 1 2
