Geotechnical Engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that studies the behavior of earth materials, such as soil and rock, and applies principles of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and engineering geology. It is crucial for designing foundations, retaining structures, slopes, tunnels, and earthworks, ensuring the safety and stability of civil infrastructure projects.
