Geotechnical engineering is a subdiscipline of civil engineering focused on the behavior of soil, rock, and groundwater and their interaction with structures like foundations, tunnels, dams, and retaining walls. Geotechnical engineers conduct site investigations and analyze soil mechanics to design safe foundations, assess landslide and settlement risks, and ensure structural stability before and during construction. It plays a critical role in infrastructure, building construction, and mining projects.
