Hi guys, nice to meet you all! I'm a civil engineer who is currently studying a master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering. In the future, my main interest is to do research on stopbanks and liquefiable soils.
How Can Geotechnical Engineering Impact Stopbanks and Liquefiable Soils?

In summary, geotechnical engineering plays a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of stopbanks, which are structures built to prevent flooding. By analyzing and understanding the properties of the underlying soil, geotechnical engineers can design stopbanks that are strong and stable enough to withstand potential floodwaters. Additionally, geotechnical engineering is essential in identifying and mitigating the risks posed by liquefiable soils, which can greatly impact the stability of stopbanks and other structures during earthquakes. Through thorough testing and design, geotechnical engineers can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of stopbanks in protecting communities from flooding and seismic events.
