Cohesion of Soil in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Cohesion of 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 of Soil is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Cohesion of Soil is always positive.
