Summary

Soil mechanics deals with the study of the physical and mechanical properties of soils and their behavior under load. It focuses on soil classification, determination of stress and strain, shear strength, consolidation and stability of slopes. The knowledge gained is used in the design and assessment of geotechnical structures such as building foundations, retaining walls and earthworks.
