Abstract
Soil is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and countless organisms that
together support life on Earth. It is a mineral matter formed by the disintegration of rocks due
to action of water, frost, temperature, pressure or by plant or animal life. The term „soil‟ has
different connotations for scientists belonging to different disciplines. The definition given to
a soil by an agriculturist or a geologist is different from the one used by a civil engineer. For
a civil engineer, soils mean all naturally occurring, relatively unconsolidated earth material-
organic or inorganic in character that lies above the bedrock. According to Terzaghi, soils
can be broken down into their constituent particles relatively easily, such as by agitation in
water.
