Why soil mechanics as a separate discipline from the general mechanics?

Soil mechanics is a discipline in which application of laws of mechanics and fluid mechanics are applied where as in mechanics laws of physics are applied


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.
