Soil mechanics has become a distinct and separate branch of engineering mechanics because soils have a number of special properties, ... discipline Soil mechanics is the science of equilibrium and motion of soil bodies. Here soil is understood to be the weathered material in the upper layers ofthe earth’s crust. The non-weathered ... contributions to soil mechanics are due to Coulomb, whopublished an important treatise on the failure of soils in 1776, and to Rank-ine, who published an article on the possible states of stress in soils...

In this case there are two possibilities, depending upon the size of theparticles in the soil. If the soil consists of very coarse material, the groundwater level in the soil ... deformation must be consid-ered.Subsidence of the soil can also be caused by the extrac-tion of gas or oil from soil layers. The reservoirs con-taining oil and gas are often located at substantial...
