Geology is the foundation of every structure. Prior to structural design and engineering, it is imperative that a geologist or soils engineer provide criteria and recommendations to address issues such as bearing capacity and lateral loads. This module explains the role of geotechnical science and the implications of ignoring issues such as settlement, differential settlement, expansive soils, corrosive soils, liquefaction, slip-planes, seismology, and other problems. Consolidation, soil stabilization, and other advanced forms of soil prepartion are discussed in ENGINEERING 302: Soil Stabilization.
