Engineering properties
soils
Granular soils, except for loose sand, generally
possess excellent engineering properties:
Large bearing capacity
Small settlement
Make outstanding foundation material for
supporting roads and structure.
Make excellent backfill materials for retaining
wall because they are easily compacted and
easily drained, and because they exert small
lateral pressures.
