What do we apply in soil mechanics
1. Laws of mechanics
2. Hydraulics
Soils are formed through the Physical,chemical and biological (PCB) disintegration of rocks.
Terzaghi is the father of siil mechanics
Soil is a structural material
The main objective of soil mechanics is to lay down principles, theories and procedures (PTP) for the design of a safe and sound structure.
What do foundation engineers use in the design of substructure (Foundation)
1. Properties of the soil
2. Theories pertaining to the design
3. Own praxtical experience
Natural soil deposit (NSD) performs the engineering function of supporting substructure and the superstructure above it.
NSD are available in extremely erractic manner
