SOIL MECHANICS
Soil mechanics is a branch of civil engineering and geotechnical engineering that deals with the behavior of soil under different conditions. It involves studying the physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties of soil to understand its response to loads, water content, and environmental factors. Key topics include soil classification, compaction, consolidation, shear strength, bearing capacity, and slope stability. Soil mechanics plays a crucial role in the design and construction of foundations, earthworks, retaining structures, and other geotechnical projects.
