Geotechnical engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials and their interaction with structures. It involves the analysis and design of foundations, slopes, and retaining structures, ensuring stability and safety in construction projects. By integrating principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineers assess site conditions and provide solutions for effective and sustainable infrastructure development.
