The Development of Soil Mechanics in Sweden, 1900–1925

Synopsis Prior to 1925, soil mechanics in Sweden developed along two different lines. The fundamental study of soils contributed to a better understanding of their nature and behaviour and, among other things, led to the methods of soil classification now generally used. The practical development resulted in the construction of field and laboratory equipment for soil investigations, and in the working out of new design methods, such as the use of circular-cylindrical sliding surfaces for stability computations. Thus, by 1925 soil mechanics was a well-established science of everyday application in the solution of difficult foundation problems. Mécaniques des sols qui, en Suède, avant 1925, se développaient suivant deux voies différentes. L'étude fondamentale des sols a contribué à une meilleure compréhension de leur nature, ainsi que de leur comportement, et entre autres chases, a conduit aux méthodes de classification des sols généralement employées à présent. Le développement pratique a mené à la construction d'équipement de terrain et de laboratoire pour les recherches sur les sols, tel que l'emploi de surfaces de glissement circulaires-cylindriques pour calculs de stabilité. Ainsi en 1925 les mécaniques des sols étaient une science bien établie d'application quotidienne pour la solution de difficiles problèmes de fondation.
