In this way, When the fields and ideas are different, the meaning of soil is different.
In the civil engineering field, soil is complicated and inhomogeneous, and large uncertainty has been a big problem in the past, but it has not been solved even now. In recent years, sediment disasters such as slope failures and landslides have become major social issues.
In this special feature, not only the civil engineering field but also soil in other fields were written by experts in specialized fields.
