Uncovering Geotechnical Engineering: The First Line of Structural Defense
Geotechnical engineering, or geotech, focuses on soil and rock behavior for construction projects, ensuring stability and safety through expert analysis.
Geotechnical engineering, often referred to as geotech, is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the analysis of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions to support the safe and efficient design of construction projects. By evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of subsurface materials, geotechnical engineers provide critical recommendations for foundation design, earth retention systems, slope stability, pavement performance, and ground improvement solutions.
