Soils are aggregates of mineral particles, and together with air and/or water
in the void spaces, they form three-phase systems. A large portion of the
earth’s surface is covered by soils, and they are widely used as construction
and foundation materials. Soil mechanics is the branch of engineering that
deals with the engineering properties of soils and their behavior under
stress.
