Soil with high shear strength and plasticity, like clay, which adheres to itself and other surfaces.
Cohesive Soil refers to soil that exhibits significant shear strength and plasticity due to its fine-grained nature. Examples include clay and silt soils, which adhere to themselves and to other surfaces due to the forces between their particles. Cohesive soils often retain water and can expand or contract based on moisture content, influencing their behavior in construction projects. Proper understanding of cohesive soil properties is essential for foundation design and soil stabilization techniques
