Geotechnical engineering is applied in designing and constructing any structure formed from, on or within earth materials! Examples include designing the fouindations of structures to transfer building loads to underlying ground, designing retaining walls to hold back soil in vertical cuts into a slope face for example during road construction or to calculate the safe slope angle of an embankment or cutting or to calculate the loads on a tunnel through soil or rock.


What is gatch road?

Gatch road, as seen in UAE and KSA desert areas is an improved sand road that has been lightly overlaid with a local limestone material called gatch. Teh result is a surface that is more resistant to blowing sand accumulation, and offers much better vehicle traction. Where a 4WD all-wheel vehicle is generally needed for sand track road travel, a gatch road can be passable with a 2WD vehicle. Gatch appears much like "caliche" as used in southern Texas roads.
