GeotechnicalGeotechnical EngineeringEngineering Why?Why? We are unable to build castles in air
(yet) !
Almost every structure is either builton or built in or built using soil orrock.
Mechanics of Soils and Rocks is thebasis of Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical problems involve:
Stability
Deformations Water flow

So, What isSo, What is GeotechnicalGeotechnical Engineering?Engineering? Integration of physics and earth science
Solid mechanics, geology and hydrogeology
Soil Mechanics provides the theoretical basis fordescribing the mechanical behaviour of earthmaterials
Geotechnical Engineering involves application of
theories of soil mechanics to a variety of fieldproblems
For most other engineering disciplines Material properties are well-defined or can be controlled
For Geotechnical Engineering Material properties are highly variable and difficult to
measure with a reasonable degree of accuracy

Site CharacterizationSite Characterization Material properties must be measured for each
new construction site
Remember that we are dealing with naturalmaterials No quality control
Ground consists of
Innumerable variety of particle sizes and minerals
To make matter worse
Engineering properties of earth materials are stronglyinfluenced by their past geological history that we
normally know very little about. Climatic conditions also influence these properties

Concluding RemarksConcluding Remarks Geotechnical Engineering is probably one of the
most challenging engineering disciplines
You can safely bet that, as a geotechnicalengineer, no two days at work are going to besimilar
Geotechnical engineering expertise is required in
a vast variety of disciplines that includes the oilindustry
Being a relatively new discipline, there is amplescope for innovation
For a geotechnical engineer, achieving jobsatisfaction is never a problem
