"Sand and gravels are grouped together as granular soils and the forces that hold them together are frictional due to their jagged and rough surface texture." Mixed soils contain a mixture of both ...

Soil can be broken down into two main categories: granular and cohesive. Granular soils are loosely bound, which means that moisture drains easily. They make an excellent base for building on ...

Anchor behavior and pullout capacity in granular soils are critical topics in geotechnical engineering, particularly for structures that require stability against uplift forces. Anchors are used ...
