Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the behavior of earth materials such as soil and rock. It involves the analysis, design, and construction of structures that interact with the ground.
Key Features
- Soil mechanics
- Rock mechanics
- Foundation design
- Slope stability analysis
- Retaining wall design
Pros
- Critical for the successful planning and construction of infrastructure projects
- Helps ensure the safety and stability of structures in various geological conditions
- Involves both theoretical analysis and practical applications
Cons
- Can be complex and challenging to analyze due to the variability of soil and rock properties
- Requires sophisticated tools and techniques for accurate assessments
