Soil Physics and Soil Mechanics

Soil physics and soil mechanics encompass a range of topics essential for understanding soil behavior and its interaction with structures. First, soil texture and structure examines the size and distribution of soil particles (sand, silt, and clay) and how these affect soil properties such as permeability, compaction, and stability. This knowledge is crucial for predicting how soils will respond to different stresses and environmental conditions. Second, soil compaction and porosity explores how soil density changes under load and how this affects the soil's ability to support structures and allow water and air movement. Compacted soils can lead to poor root growth and reduced drainage, impacting agricultural productivity and construction stability.
