Why soil mechanics as a separate discipline from the general mechanics?
Soil mechanics is separate from general mechanics because soil is a complex material with unique properties like porosity, compressibility, and shear strength that require specialized study. Understanding the behavior of soil is crucial for geotechnical engineering projects such as foundations, retaining walls, and earth dams, making soil mechanics an essential discipline in civil engineering.
What is unsaturated soil mechanics?
Unsaturated soil mechanics is the study of the behavior of soil when it contains both air and water in its pore spaces. This differs from saturated soil mechanics, which deals with soil that is completely saturated with water. Understanding unsaturated soil mechanics is crucial in various geotechnical engineering applications, such as slope stability analysis and foundation design.
Why study soil mechanics as a separate discipline?
Soil Mechanics like fluids mechanics and structural mechanics and engineering surveying are the core disciplines of civil engineering for well over 70 years from the days of Terzaghi, father of soil mechanics. It is a separate discipline since soil behaviour cannot be predicted like the methods used for testing the behaviour of structures and fluids,yet ideas similar to these disciplines have been used but the testing and classification of soil had to be on its own. Now the discipline has a broad base to be known as geotechnics or geotechnical engineering.
What is the difference and connection between soil mechanics and foundation engineering?
soil mechanics is the science dealing with soil to knowing ,type of soil , bearing capacity of the slackening weakness and strength of the soil and by soil mechanics can we give a recommendation to the designer Foundation engineering is design of foundation of any projects ,building ,factories ,stores ....)the design of foundation type depended on the bearing capacity of the soil of the concerned site of the project.
