Erdmechanik
Erdmechanik, also known as soil mechanics, is a branch of physics and engineering that deals with the mechanical behavior of earth materials. It is concerned with the application of the laws of mechanics to earth materials and the use of this knowledge in the solution of engineering problems. The field was pioneered by Karl Terzaghi, often referred to as the father of soil mechanics, in the early 20th century.
The fundamental principles of Erdmechanik involve understanding the composition of soil, including its mineralogy, grain size
Applications of Erdmechanik are widespread in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering. They are crucial for the
