Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical Engineering is the branch of civil
engineering that deals with soil, rock, and underground
water, and their relation to the design construction and
operation of engineering projects (Coduto 1998)
Soil mechanics is a discipline that applies the principles
of engineering mechanics to soils to predict the
mechanical behavior of soil.
