Soil Mechanics
Soil Mechanics is the science that studies the mechanical behavior of soil, in order to predict its resistance and deformation when subjected to loads generated by structures and by forces of nature that could affect them. Since every structure is supported on the ground, it is essential to have a deep understanding of how the soil behaves. To learn more about this science, check out the available blogs in this section.
