Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials and their interaction with structures. It involves the analysis, design, and construction of foundations, slopes, retaining structures, and other systems that are made of or supported by soil or rock.

Retaining structures are engineered systems designed to hold back soil or rock from a building, structure, or area, preventing erosion and maintaining the stability of the terrain. They are crucial in construction and landscaping, especially in areas with significant elevation changes, to ensure safety and longevity of the built environment.
