Soil is a widely distributed naturally occurring material derived primarily from rocks and rocky minerals. Because soil is a natural product, it has some changeable and complicated characteristics by definition. When it comes to foundation design, the most important soil feature to consider while choosing a soil type is bearing pressure. The bearing capacity is one of the key soil properties required in foundation designs. How well a structure’s foundation performs depends on the nature and properties of the soil beneath it in relation to its capacity to withstand pressure. However, it is important to note that the bearing pressure of soils is affected by contaminants or pollutants in the geo-environment which produce a negative effect on the soil engineering characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
