Soil mechanics is a branch of engineering that focuses on the behavior of soil under various conditions and its interactions with structures that are built on or within it. It combines principles of physics, engineering, and material science to understand the mechanical properties and behavior of soil. Key concepts in soil mechanics include: 1. **Soil Properties**: Understanding the physical and chemical characteristics of soil, such as grain size distribution, plasticity, density, and permeability.
