Liu et al. [[5]] explained that clay and sand particles behave in a way that is distinct from other particles, but that silt particles behave in a way that is intermediate between sand and clay. In today's world, construction projects tend to be more complex due to one or a combination of the following reasons: climate change impacting design requirements; enhanced material properties; the scarcity of greenfield sites in highly built-up cities, leading to challenging underground construction; easily accessible scientific knowledge; the prowess of computational speed; the advent of new technologies driving innovation; and stringent health and safety requirements to safeguard the public. In their review of the effects of surface roughness and particle characteristics on soil-structure interactions, Wang et al. [[1]] found that the influential factors that affect the interface shear mechanism include (i) surface roughness, (ii) particle angularity, (iii) mean particle size, (iv) surface hardness, (v) particle breakage, and (vi) confinement condition.
