Geotechnical Engineering focuses on the understanding and application of how soil and rock are used as engineering materials within our built environment. Soil and rock constitute the largest construction material by volume used, and understanding their behavior as engineering materials is critical to the design of building foundation systems, earth and rockfill dams, tunnels and other underground structures, and all other facilities constructed of... |
