Overview of Geotechnical Engineering Geotechnical engineering is a crucial discipline in the field of civil engineering that deals with the behavior and properties of soil and rock materials. It plays a significant role in the construction industry, providing engineers with essential knowledge and tools to design and construct safe and reliable infrastructure. This subchapter aims to provide engineers, particularly those specializing in civil engineering, with a comprehensive overview of geotechnical engineering. It will cover the fundamental principles, practices, and techniques employed in this field, highlighting their importance in construction projects. To begin with, the subchapter will delve into the basics of geotechnical engineering, explaining the significance of understanding soil and rock mechanics. Engineers will gain insights into the composition of soil and rock, their physical and mechanical properties, and how these properties influence the behavior of the ground. The subchapter will then explore the various geotechnical investigations and testing methods employed to gather crucial data about the site conditions. Engineers will learn about the different in-situ and laboratory tests used to determine soil and rock characteristics, including density, strength, permeability, and compressibility. Understanding these properties is crucial for making informed decisions regarding foundation design, slope stability, and overall project feasibility. Furthermore, the subchapter will discuss the design principles and practices employed in geotechnical engineering. Engineers will be introduced to various design methods for foundations, retaining structures, embankments, and slopes. They will also learn about the different types of geotechnical engineering analyses, such as settlement analysis, bearing capacity analysis, and slope stability analysis. The importance of geotechnical considerations in construction projects will also be emphasized. Engineers will understand how geotechnical engineering plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and stability of structures, as well as mitigating potential risks. Additionally, geotechnical challenges associated with different types of soil and rock formations will be discussed, providing engineers with valuable insights for addressing specific site conditions
