Geotechnical engineering is concerned with the engineering properties of earth
materials

Geotechnical engineering is concerned with the engineering properties of earth materials. Geotechnical engineers work
with data from earth core samples to specify the requirements
for man-made structures that will be built on a site. These
structures include foundations, footings, retaining walls and
dams, each of which applies different demands upon the surrounding soil.
