    Geotechnical engineering is a sub-division of civil engineering.

    It manages a form of research


    that incorporates the use of earth materials. It embraces approaches or rock mechanics and soil to
    inspect chemical and physical characteristics that are related to the subsurface matter.

    Furthermore, this form of engineering is also incorporated into the stability of both manufactured
    and natural deposits. This category also advocates for the upgrade of ground programs to ensure
    that the soil is ready for structural support. Geotechnical engineering is further responsible for
    retaining earth structures especially when they interact with the soil. It is a branch that
    incorporates analysis, observation, and design techniques that are associated with earth
    structures. The activities that engaged in this project include stipulating the surrounding. Others
    are identifying the schedules and budgets of the project.

    This concept of evaluation plays a significant function that enables engineers to stick to the
    project during its implementation. Furthermore, evaluation is vital when it grants the
    construction team with a design. This is to ensure that the project is put into practice in a
    successful manner. The purpose of geotechnical methods is to initiate the overall properties of a
    certain site
    As civil engineering students, it is important for us to understand soil mechanics because soil
    plays a significant role in every decision on the structures that will be conducted. Not having a
    piece of knowledge of geotechnical engineering could lead to different problems either during
    construction or worst during the usage of the structure which can pose a threat to the lives of
    many people.

    As civil engineers in the future, it is our duty to ensure that we are equipped with knowledge in
    our chosen field for us to build a strong structure that would be safe sustainable, and economical

    The current trend in the field of geotechnical engineering deals with three main topics: i) Recent
    challenges of numerical analyses of geosystems, ii) Analysis of large deformation and the post-
    failure response of soils, iii) Modeling and minimizing uncertainty for design and monitoring in
    geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. Recent challenges of numerical analyses in the
    above-mentioned two subfields of geotechnical earthquake engineering and geotechnical coastal
    engineering are associated with how the soil is modeled at the elemental level under dynamic
    loading as well as how soil-structure interaction is managed numerically. Firstly, the physical
    model of the problem where the structural components are introduced into the soil media at this
    stage is idealized as a simplified model whose response is governed by mathematical equations
    along with a set of prescribed boundaries and initial conditions. These conditions are specified in
    terms of the field variables of the problem along with their spatial and temporal derivatives
    giving the forces exerted on the system. Such field variables are essentially the unknown degrees
    of freedom of the problem.
