INTRODUCTION
The
Geotechnical Engineer website aims to provide useful educational information in
the Geotechnical Engineering field. Through various features, the site combines
theory with practice. Among the purposes of the site is the interaction of the
visitors. Already, many Professors and Professional Engineers have contributed
to the site. We hope that you will help us too!
