Geotechnical Engineering

Any building project that takes place on the ground (that’s many of them) has to be concerned with geotechnical engineering. This branch of Civil Engineering is concerned with earth materials, soil mechanics, geology etc. A geotechnical engineer will examine rock formations and locations to determine safety, environmental concerns and much more. Learn more about this fascinating sub-field here.

What are Geodetic Measuring Devices? Total Stations, Dumpy Levels, Global Navigation Satellite System Receivers

Geotechnical Engineering

Geodetic measuring devices are used in civil engineering to measure dimensions which may be in the form of one, two or three coordinates. Various instruments are used to achieve this. Here we introduce a few instruments and their usage.

What are Tetrapods? (Tetrapods Resist Wave Impact and Prevent Beach Erosion)

Geotechnical Engineering

Ever been to a city’s coast line and seen hundreds of identical oddly-shaped, interlocking concrete structures heaped one atop the other? If you have seen these and wondered what are and why they are there, please read on.

What is Civil Engineering Surveying?

Geotechnical Engineering

Surveying is an important discipline in civil engineering that is intimately associated with a large number of facilities, including railways, roads, dams, bridges, and residential areas. Surveying creates the legal geographical boundaries and provides data for computer databases.

What is Geotechnical Engineering?

Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical engineering is an important field of engineering that is concerned with behavior of earth materials. Some of the important tasks of geotechnical engineering are designing of foundations for structures, embankments, storage systems for hazardous materials, and lessening soil erosion.

Environmental Engineering Includes Air Pollution Control, Water Pollution Control, Hazardous Waste Management, and Water and Waste Water Treatment

Geotechnical Engineering

Environmental engineering began as sanitary engineering when the importance of drinking water treatment and waste water treatment were first realized. Later it was converted to environmental engineering, including air pollution and water pollution control and solid and hazardous waste management.

How to we Minimize the Damage Done by Earthquakes? Find Out About Earthquake Resistant Buildings

Geotechnical Engineering

Earthquakes are a common natural phenomenon. Today, modern science understands its origins as compared to olden days when people used to say that God had become angry. Of course it still holds true in the philosophical sense, but our main objective should be how to save lives in such a situation.
