Question

Applications of coarse-grained soils and applications of fine-grained soils in civil engineering/ geotechnical/ soil engineering.

Answer 1

The main applications of coarse-grained soils and applications of fine-grained soils in civil engineering/ geotechnical/ soil engineering are hereunder:

The fine-grained and coarse-grained soils have different properties. First, the level of moisture impacts fine-grained soil but has no impact on coarse-grained soil. Coarse-grained soil is mainly sand and it is not good for buildings to face earthquakes however, they have better load-bearing capacity. Fine-grained soils have poor drainage capacities. These are some of the applications of coarse-grained soils and applications of fine-grained soils in civil engineering/ geotechnical/ soil engineering.
