2. What is Geotechnical Engineering? Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering is important in civil engineering, but is also applied in military, mining, and other engineering disciplines that are concerned with construction occurring on the surface or within the ground. Geotechnical engineering uses principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to investigate subsurface conditions and materials; determine the relevant physical/mechanical and chemical properties of these materials; assess risks posed by site conditions; design earthworks and structure foundations, and earthwork and foundation construction.

3. Geotechnical Engineers at work Geotechnical engineer making sure that this Geotechnical engineer checking on the soil in the place is a good place for their next project the place that there next project will occur.

4. The Job Outlook on Geotechnical Engineers Geotechnical engineers work 42 hours a week on average. Full time geotechnical engineers make roughly $2,000 a week. Geotechnical engineers can be of all ages and both genders.
