Introduction-

In what way does knowledge of soil mechanics help in civil engineering practice? [2072 Magh][2]

 The knowledge of soil mechanics help in civil engineering practice in the following ways:
  1. It helps to perform engineering soil surveys.
  2. It helps to  develop rational sampling devices and soil sampling methods.
  3. It helps to develop suitable soil testing equipment and soil testing methods.
  4. It helps to investigate physical properties of soil by means of field in laboratory test.
  5.  It helps to analyse and interpret soil test data and classify soils.
  6. It helps to understand the effect of various factor on soil such as static and dynamic loads, ice, water and temperature.
  7. It helps to solve the practical engineering problems by applying the principal of soil mechanics.
