Episode notes
In this episode, we explore Critical State Soil Mechanics (CSSM)—a fundamental framework in geotechnical engineering that has significantly shaped our understanding of soil behavior under various loading conditions. We discuss its historical development, key principles, and practical applications, particularly in the context of tailings storage facilities (TSFs).
