Abstract
Geotechnical Engineering is a critical sub-discipline of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials and their interaction with human-made structures. This article explores key concepts in geotechnical engineering, such as soil mechanics, foundation design, and slope stability. Modern geotechnical engineering relies on both theoretical models and empirical data to address challenges like bearing capacity, settlement, and landslide mitigation. It also delves into emerging trends like geosynthetics, ground improvement techniques, and the use of remote sensing technologies for subsurface investigation. Case studies highlight the practical applications and challenges faced in real-world projects, from dam construction to tunnelling in urban environments. Understanding these principles ensures safe and sustainable infrastructure development, minimizing environmental impacts while optimizing structural integrity
