Geotechnik

Geotechnik, or geotechnical engineering, is the field that studies Earth's materials—like soil and rock—and how they behave. It involves analyzing ground conditions to design foundations, tunnels, and other structures, ensuring safety and stability. Geotechnical engineers assess risks such as landslides, soil settlement, or groundwater issues, and develop solutions to prevent failures. Essentially, it’s about understanding the ground beneath our feet to build reliable, durable structures while protecting the environment and communities.
