Cohesion in Soil in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas
Cohesion in Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil. And is denoted by c. Cohesion in Soil is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Cohesion in Soil is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Cohesion in Soil?
Cohesion in Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil. Cohesion in Soil is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Cohesion in Soil is always positive.
Can the Cohesion in Soil be negative?
No, the Cohesion in Soil, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Cohesion in Soil?
Cohesion in Soil is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Cohesion in Soil can be measured.
