Geotechnical engineering is a branch that interacts with all other branches, after all, every structure needs foundation system. Geotechnical engineering failures are usually among the costliest to fix, if the fix is possible at all in the first place. Before we discuss failures, we should briefly describe how the process works in geotechnical engineering, which is something not many people may be familiar. The process in geotechnical engineering starts with a site investigation, after the site is decided on by the owner of the […] Read More
