Soil Mechanics
The science of soil mechanics began its rapid growth with the pioneering studies of Karl Terzaghi during the early part of this century. Terzaghi developed many of the theories of soil mechanics out of the practical necessity to provide solutions to the many difficult foundation problems introduced by modern construction. Although they are closely related, soil mechanics and foundation engineering are not synonymous. Foundation engineering as a profession is a subtle combination of soil mechanics and engineering geology with a intuitive art of judgement and innovation where experience exercises an important role. Soil mechanics, on the other hand, is a study of the behavior of a material of which the most important characteristic is its particulate composition. Since this characteristic is not unique to soils, the principles and techniques of soil mechanics may find application to a variety of problems in geophysics, materials processes, and most recently, lunar exploration.
