In soil mechanics the equilibrium and movement of s oil b o dies is studied, where soil is understood to be the weathered natural material in the upper layers (say the upper 20 to 100 m) of the earth’s crust. This material may be gravel, sand, clay, peat, or some other rather soft and loose granular medium. The nature of these materials is quite different from artificial man-made materials such as steel, Concrete, etc . These materials usually are much more consistent than soils, and exhibit relatively simple, linear, mechanical behavior, at least if the deformations are not to o large.
The mechanical properties of soils are usually strongly non- linear, with the material exhibiting irreversible plastic deformations when loaded and unloaded, even at lows tress levels, and often showing an isotropic behavior, creep and such typical effects as dilatation (a volume change
during shear). This mechanical behavior of soil is also difficult to predict, because the structure of the soil may be highly in homogeneous,
