geotechnical modeling
Geotechnical modeling involves creating detailed representations of the Earth's subsurface to understand how soil, rock, and groundwater will behave under different conditions. Engineers use these models to predict how foundations, tunnels, or slopes will perform, ensuring safety and stability. By analyzing soil properties and behaviors through simulations, geotechnical modeling helps inform decisions for construction projects, hazard assessments, and land development, reducing risks and optimizing designs for long-term performance.
