These are the fundamental soil mechanics concepts that determine how soil behaves under load. Atterberg limits define its water content states, compaction increases density mechanically, consolidation is the slow drainage under steady pressure, shear strength is its resistance to failure, and the triaxial test measures that strength under controlled conditions. Honestly, right now, they are just bullet points in my notes that I must memorize before tomorrow's paper. My father, a retired engineer, would explain these with stories of foundation work, but for me, tonight, they are only a means to pass an exam.
