Geotechnical engineering is concerned with the engineering properties of earth materials. Geotechnical engineers work with data from soil and rock samples to specify the requirements for man-made structures and earthworks that will be built on a site. These structures include shallow foundations (footings), deep foundations ( piles and drilled piers), retaining walls, dams, embankment s, and tunnels. See also
