The soil that occurs at or near the surface of theearth is one of the most widely encountered materials in civil, structural and architecturalengineering. soil ranks high in degree of importance when compared to the numerousother materials ( steel, concrete, masonry, etc.) used in is a construction material used in many structures, such as retaining walls, dams, andlevees. soil is also a foundation material upon which structures rest. All structures,regardless of the material from which they are constructed, ultimately rest upon soil orrock. Hence, the load capacity and settlement behavior of foundations depend on thecharacter of the underlying soils, and on their action under the stress imposed by thefoundation.
