Soil mechanics fundamentals

Soil mechanics is the study of the physical properties of soil, especially those properties that affect its ability to bear weight, such as water content, density, strength, etc. Soil mechanics is a branch of engineering mechanics that describes the behavior of soils. It differs from fluid mechanics...
