About this course
Geotechnical engineering is a specialized field of civil engineering focused on the behavior of earth materials (soil and rock) and their application in infrastructure projects. It involves understanding how these materials respond to loads, water, and other environmental factors to ensure the stability and safety of structures built on or within the ground
