the application of the laws of mechanics, hydraulics, and interfacial physics to engineering problems dealing with partially saturated soils.''
Yes, roots are a component of the unsaturated zone of soil where pores contain both water and air. The unsaturated zone is also known as the vadose zone, and it extends from the ground surface to the water table. Roots in this zone absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
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.
No, in the unsaturated zone soil pores are not completely filled with water. This zone contains a mixture of water and air, with the soil pores holding both water and gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. The water content in the unsaturated zone can vary depending on factors like precipitation, evaporation, and plant uptake.
The unsaturated zone is the area in the ground where the spaces between soil particles are filled with both air and water. This zone is also known as the vadose zone. The zone of aeration refers specifically to the portion of the unsaturated zone where the soil pores contain both air and water.
False. In the unsaturated zone, also known as the vadose zone, the pores of the soil are not totally filled with water. Instead, this zone contains both air and water, with the water occupying the spaces between soil particles called soil moisture.

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.

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.
