"Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials."
Geotechnical engineering deals with the behavior and properties of soils and rocks, and their effects on structures and infrastructures.
Soil Mechanics: Study of the properties and behavior of soil under different loading conditions.
Rock Mechanics: Study of the properties and behavior of rock under different loading conditions.
Geological Engineering: Study of geological formations and processes and their impact on civil engineering projects.
Foundation Engineering: Design of foundations for structures based on the properties of the soil and rock.
Slope Stability: Analysis and design of slopes to determine their stability under various loading conditions.
Retaining Walls: Design and analysis of retaining structures to hold back soil and rock to create level building sites.
Ground Improvement Techniques: Methods used to improve the properties of soil or rock and increase their bearing capacity.
Earthquake Engineering: Study of the behavior of soil and rock during earthquakes and how to design structures to resist earthquake forces.
Environmental Geotechnics: Study of the impact of civil engineering projects on the environment, and how to minimize that impact.
Site Investigation and Testing: Methods and techniques used to investigate and test soil, rock and groundwater properties at a proposed construction site.
"It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems."
"It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences."
"Geotechnical engineering has applications in military engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering, coastal engineering, and offshore construction."
"The fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology have overlapping knowledge areas."
"...while geotechnical engineering is a specialty of civil engineering..."
"...engineering geology is a specialty of geology."
