"Soil Mechanics" is the name given to the scientific approach to the understanding of soil action. It may be defined as the science dealing with all phenomena which affect the action of soil in a capacity in any way associated with engineering. It is a pioneer science which has grown very rapidly in the last two decades. Although experimental soil mechanics has been going on ever since man first built structures or tunnelled in the ground, it is the scientific approach to the problem which is only recent.
