Description
Geotechnical Engineering is the branch of civil engineering that deals with the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rock, and their interaction with structures. It involves the study of soil properties, foundations, slope stability, and underground construction. The subject focuses on ensuring the stability and safety of structures like buildings, bridges, and dams by understanding soil mechanics, foundation design, and geotechnical testing.
