Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering

Description

From a scientific perspective, geotechnical engineering largely involves defining the soil's strength and deformation properties. Clay, silt, sand, rock and snow are important materials in geotechnics. Geotechnical engineering includes specialist fields such as soil and rock mechanics, geophysics, hydrogeology and associated disciplines such as geology. Geotechnical engineering and engineering geology are a branch of civil engineering.

The specialism involves using scientific methods and principles of engineering to collect and interpret the physical properties of the ground for use in building and construction. Its practical application, e.g. foundation engineering, has come to require a scientific approach.

Geotechnics is applied when planning infrastructure such as roads and tunnels as well as buildings and other constructions onshore and offshore. The discipline also involves performing numerical calculations, analysing the stability of slopes and cliffs, and assessing load-bearing capacity, settlement and deformation in man-made structures.

Research and development in geotechnical engineering is carried out to improve and further refine equipment and methods for carrying out ground surveys
