2. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

   Soil mechanics is a branch of soil physics and applied mechanics that describes the behavior of soils. It differs from fluid mechanics and solid mechanics in the sense that soils consist of a heterogeneous mixture of fluids (usually air and water) and particles (usually clay , silt , sand , and gravel ) but soil may also contain organic solids ...

7. Geomechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomechanics

   The two main disciplines of geomechanics are soil mechanics and rock mechanics.Former deals with the soil behaviour from a small scale to a landslide scale. The latter deals with issues in geosciences related to rock mass characterization and rock mass mechanics, such as applied to petroleum, mining and civil engineering problems, such as borehole stability, tunnel design, rock breakage, slope ...

8. Soil physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_physics

   Soil physics is the study of soil's physical properties and processes. It is applied to management and prediction under natural and managed ecosystems . Soil physics deals with the dynamics of physical soil components and their phases as solids , liquids , and gases .

9. Critical state soil mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_state_soil_mechanics

   This behavior, critical state soil mechanics simply assumes as a given. For these reasons, critical-state and elasto-plastic soil mechanics have been subject to charges of scholasticism; the tests to demonstrated its validity are usually "conformation tests" where only simple stress-strain curves are demonstrated to be modeled satisfactorily.
