土力学原理

土力学原理(中文7000字,英文4000字)
土力学是研究土的性质及其与工程设计、施工和性能有关的行为。但是，它适用于人造材料，如填埋场、废料、尾矿堆、储存库、料仓以及土壤，这扩大了它在采矿工程中的效用。土力学是岩石力学的一个伴生领域，两者在岩土结构分析和设计中有着许多共同之处。
土壤性质通常分为两类，指标特性是识别性质，用于土壤分类。力学性质是描述土体行为的物理性质。我们将分别讨论其中的一些例子。
最重要的土壤指标特性是粒度大小。粒度大小的分布是在实验室中用筛分、沉降或商业粒度分析仪进行测量的。一旦确定，大小分布要么被绘制为频率图，要么是累积筛选图。由于对数概率图纸和直线图具有明显的解释优势，这种方法常被用来表示土壤粒度分布。

Principles of Soil Mechanics
Soil mechanics is the study of the properties of soils and their behavior in relation to the design, construction, and performance of engineering works. It is applicable, however, to man made materials such as fills, wastes, tailings dumps,  stockpiles, bins as well as to soils, which broadens its utility in mine engineering. Soil mechanics is a companion field to rock mechanics, and the two share much in common in the analysis and design of geotechnical structures.
Soil properties are usually grouped in two categories Index properties are identification properties used to classify soils. Mechanical properties are physical properties which describe soil behavior. We shall discuss some examples of each.
