  Geotechnical - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Geotechnical engineers investigate the soil and rock below the ground to determine its properties, and then design foundations for man-made structures built on the ground, such as buildings or bridges.
Dams and embankments are structures built of soil or rock; tunnels are structures built through soil or rock.
Geotechnical engineers also assess the risk to humans, property and the environment from natural hazards such as landslides, debris flows, and rock falls (all involving natural materials).
