Geotechnical Engineering

Front

A discipline that applies the principles of engineering mechanics to soils to predict the mechanical behavior of soil

Back

Soil Mechanics

Front

The Branch of Civil Engineering that deals with soil, rock, underground water, and their relation to the design construction and operation of engineering projects

Geotechnical Engineering

Front

For transferring building loads to underlying ground. mostly for firm soils or light loads

Back

Shallow Foundations

Front

For transferring building loads to underlying ground. Mostly for weak soils and heavy loads

Back

Deep Foundations
