Introduction To Geotechnical Structure

This document provides an introduction to geotechnical structures. It defines geotechnical structures as foundations, earth retaining structures, water retaining structures, earthen structures, and underground structures. Geotechnical structures differ from other types of structures due to soil-structure interaction and soil-structure construction interaction. The document classifies and provides examples of various types of geotechnical structures, and notes problems that can occur with their construction and performance. These include issues like erosion, sliding, and damage during earthquakes. The intended learning outcomes are for students to understand key terms, characteristics, classifications, and problems of geotechnical structures.

Lecture Outcomes
At the end of this session the student should be able to:
Describe the term geotechnical structure Describe characteristics geotechnical structure List classification of geotechnical structure and List problems associated with each structure

Soil-Structure Interaction
a. Forces acting on earth retaining structure very much depend on the stiffness of the structure itself. b. The load acting on the steel support system during rock tunneling depends on the stiffness of the support system.
