ABSTRACT
Soil is a fundamental component of the Earth’s ecosystem, playing a crucial role in agriculture, construction, and environmental sustainability. This paper comprehensively studies soil mechanisms, focusing on soil composition, classification, texture, structure, and mineralogy. It examines the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of soil, including permeability, porosity, cohesion, shear strength, and compaction characteristics. The study also analyzes soil stress-strain relationships, consolidation, and load-bearing capacity under various environmental and structural conditions.
Additionally, the paper discusses the impact of external factors such as moisture content, temperature variations, erosion, and weathering processes on soil stability and deformation. Furthermore, this study explores recent advancements in soil stabilization methods, including geosynthetics, soil reinforcement, and chemical stabilization techniques. The implications of sustainable soil management in geotechnical engineering and environmental conservation. By integrating traditional and innovative soil improvement techniques, this paper aims to provide valuable insights into soil mechanics, foundation engineering, and sustainable development. The findings contribute to the efficient utilization of soil resources, enhanced structural integrity, and long-term environmental sustainability.
