MTech Geo-Technical Engineering

Master of Technology in Geo-Technical Engineering

MTech (Geo-Technical Engineering) or Master of Technology in Geo-Technical Engineering is a two-year Post-Graduate Geology course. The discipline of civil engineering dealing with the engineering behavior of ground materials is known as geotechnical engineering. Geo-Technical Engineering is crucial in civil engineering, but it is also employed in military, mining, petroleum, and any other engineering that deals with ground building.

The Master of Technology in Geo-Technical Engineering is focused on the construction of structures on, in, or with soil and rock. Dams, embankments, cuttings, foundations, retaining walls, anchors, tunnels, and any other constructions that interact directly with the subsoil, both onshore and offshore, are designed by geotechnical engineers. Other fields that share interests with geotechnical engineering include structural engineering, engineering geology, material science, and petroleum engineering. Geomechanics, foundations, earth support structures, dams, tunnels, slope stability, geotechnical earthquake engineering and soil dynamics, site improvement, biosynthetic, groundwater, pollution transport, chemical behavior of soil, and waste disposal facilities are among the topics covered.
