Geotechnical Engineering:
Geo-technical Engineering: involves the application of soil and rock mechanics as well as engineering geology to solve engineering problems such as design of foundations, slopes, excavations and other Civil, Mining and Environmental engineering projects relating to the mechanical response of the ground, and the water within it. Work includes studies on geo-synthetics, long term performance of landfill liners, shallow and deep foundations and deep excavations, pipes, culverts and other buried infrastructure as well as Geo-technical Earthquake Engineering. Testing Facilities; a large scale landslide flume, and a prototype scale reinforced wall test facility and shake table.
