Engineering is basically the discipline that provides and maintains the infrastructure that makes our civilization possible. And in this context, it is worth asking why is Geotechnical Engineering important.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">If we think about it, the reason is simple: it is not possible to design or build any civil structure, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, without considering the foundation soils and\/or rocks. The performance, economy and safety of any civil structure are affected, and even controlled, by its foundations (Holtz et al, 2011). Let us look at some examples.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Soil and rocks are often used as construction materials because they are the cheapest possible building material. However, their engineering properties of strength and compressibility are often poor, so measures must be taken to densify them, increase their strength, or even reinforce them so that they can perform satisfactorily. Road and railroad embankments, airfields, earth and rock dams, dams and aqueducts are examples of earth structures for which the Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for their design and construction.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>On the other hand, since much of the earth's surface is covered by soil (or water), rocks are important for subway structures, such as tunnels, oil storage structures, and mines, to name a few. However, some rock-related problems also occur at the surface, such as rock-supported building foundations and dams, deep excavations in bedrock, or stabilization of rock slopes.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In the last 20 to 30 years, geotechnical engineers have been increasingly involved in solving environmental problems, particularly those involving soils and rocks. Among the more complex problems are those associated with contaminated water, proper disposal of solid waste, design and construction of nuclear waste repositories, and mitigation of hazards associated with subway fluid deposits.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It is evident the importance of Geotechnical Engineering in any civil work, so that it is safe and functional during its useful life.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>To close this article, it is important to highlight that Geotechnical Engineering combines basic mathematics and physics, geology and pedology, with such diverse branches of engineering as hydraulics, structures, transportation, construction, environment and mining, which makes it an exciting and demanding field for any professional in Civil and Geological Engineering.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d830826 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d830826\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d94a400\" data-id=\"d94a400\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-774258e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"774258e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">References<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fa8d9b elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5fa8d9b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e54650\" data-id=\"0e54650\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a8bb26 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4a8bb26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ade497f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ade497f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Holtz, R.; Kovacs, W. &amp; Sheahan, T.
