Boston's Big Dig presented geotechnical challenges in an urban environment. Precast concrete retaining wall A typical cross-section of a slope used in two-dimensional analyzes.
Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems. It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences.
