The two major technical design considerations in geotechnical engineering are to: (1) avoid catastrophic failure, and (2) avoid excessive deformations (settlements, heave or lateral deformations). In the context of limit state design these are referred to as the ultimate and serviceability limit states, respectively.

Soil mechanics: breaking ground
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2007In soil mechanics, student's models are classified as simple models that teach us unexplained elements of behaviour; an example is the Cam clay constitutive models of critical state soil mechanics (CSSM). ‘Engineer's models’ are models that elaborate the theory to fit more behavioural trends; this is usually done by adding fitting parameters to the ...

SOIL MECHANICS OF AGRICULTURAL SOILS
Soil Science, 1977ABSTRACTSoil mechanics has been developed to solve civil engineering problems in which compact soil is caused to fail at relatively low stress levels, and it is therefore applicable to primary tillage operations like ploughing.
