The Basics of Soil Mechanics in Civil EngineeringBright
Basic Characteristics of Soils. Soil consists of different phases of solid liquid and gas and its characteristics depend on the interacting behavior of these phases and on the stress applied. The solid phase includes clay non-clay minerals and organic matter. These elements are categorized by their size as clay sand and gravel.

Soil structures are defined as the 3-D arrangement of primary particles in the soil i.e. how the primary particles are situated and connected to each other. Determining factors for soil structure include its texture and content of organic material. A distinction is made between soils with a single-grained structure and soils with an aggregated

Soil is a mixture of organic matter minerals gases liquids and organisms that together support life. Earth s body of soil called the pedosphere has four important functions . as a medium for plant growth as a means of water storage supply and purification as a modifier of Earth s atmosphere as a habitat for organisms All of these functions in their turn modify the soil and its

• Once water infiltrates the soil water in large macropores will continue to move downward due to gravity via drainage. This is the same concept as gravitational water. • Water held up against leaching (see field capacity later) is referred to as "soil storage" available for evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) by plants.
