Abstract

Soil is one of the most important materials in construction, however it is often neglected in other construction material textbooks. It is one of the most variable materials to consider as it is naturally occurring. Also, it will be, almost certainly, inconsistent from one site to the next site. The most important elements to consider are: the range of soils, their properties/parameters and what causes variations in these values.
