M.Tech Geotechnical engineering is a 2-year course. Geotechnical engineering is branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of soil earth materials apart from it is importance in civil engineering. It is also used by military, mining, petroleum, or any other engineering concerned with construction on orin the ground. Including dams, embankments, foundation, retaining walls, anchors, tunnels and all other structures directly interacting with the subsoil, both onshore and offshore. It shares common interest with other discipline such as engineering geology, structure engineering or petroleum engineering. The subjects in the course includes, aeromechanics, earthquake engineering and soil dynamics beside the study of site improvement, ground water, pollutant transport, chemical behavior of soil and waste disposal facilities.
