Soil Mechanics

This lesson will introduce the basic concepts of soil mechanics, including types of soil, soil properties, soil classification, and testing. We will explore the different types of soil and their properties such as compressibility, shear strength, and permeability. Additionally, we will discuss how to classify soil based on its properties and how to test soil to determine its characteristics. Furthermore, we will go over the design of foundations and how soil mechanics plays a crucial role in it.
