Basically the soil particle size, the soil particle size distribution, and the structure of the soil determines the moisture characteristics (soil water relationships) a particular turfgrass soil will have. Soil particles are basically composed of sands, silt, clays and organic matter.

Soil scientists describe soil types by how much sand, silt and clay are present. This is called texture. It is possible to change the texture by adding different things. Changing texture can help in providing the right conditions needed for plant growth.

As a result, there is no unique value for the undrained shear strength of a silt. In addition, silt samples are easily disturbed, and their undrained strength is more likely to be seriously affected by disturbance than those of many clays.
