An
advanced branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineered
earth works including but not limited to: theory of soil mechanics.
Geotechnical earthquake engineering and risk mitigation, Soil
dynamics, Geo-environmental engineering, Soil structure interaction,
Analysis and design of earth structures, Rock mechanics and ground
water, Landfill studies, Geotechnical tunneling, Dam engineering,
Soil improvement and, Foundation engineering. This program is
oriented to found the solid base of the ground work for the other
branches of civil engineering and other engineering discipline.
