Geotehnilises
Geotehnilises is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rock, and their interaction with built structures. It encompasses the principles of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and hydrogeology, and it informs the safe and economical design of foundations and earthworks.
The discipline covers site characterization, laboratory and field testing, and the analysis and design of foundations,
Key methods include site investigations (drilling, boreholes, geophysical surveys), in-situ tests (standard penetration test, cone penetration
Applications of geotehnilises span a wide range: foundations for buildings, bridges, and dams; design of retaining
