    This document provides an overview of foundational concepts in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. It discusses soil properties including grain size distribution, plasticity, and the distinction between clay and silt. It also covers compaction testing, permeability, stress-strain relationships, consolidation theory, shear strength determination, and stability analysis for excavations and footings.
