Vibrocompaction, grouting, and preloading are all commonly used methods for improving the bearing capacity of soft soils.

Geosynthetic reinforcements can be used to increase the shear strength of the soil, reduce the settlement of the soil, and improve the drainage of the soil.

Pile foundations, caissons, and drilled shafts are all types of deep foundations.

The primary function of a retaining wall is to support a soil mass.

Vibrocompaction, grouting, and preloading are all types of ground improvement techniques.

The purpose of a slope stability analysis is to determine the factor of safety of a slope, identify potential failure mechanisms, and design mitigation measures to improve slope stability.

Geogrids, geotextiles, and geocells are all types of soil reinforcement.

The primary function of a foundation is to transfer the load of a structure to the ground, provide stability to the structure, and prevent settlement of the structure.

Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), and borehole logging are all types of soil investigation methods.

The purpose of a geotechnical report is to provide information about the subsurface conditions at a site, make recommendations for the design of foundations and other geotechnical structures, and identify potential geotechnical hazards.

Piezometers, inclinometers, and extensometers are all types of geotechnical instrumentation.

The purpose of a geotechnical monitoring program is to monitor the performance of geotechnical structures, identify potential geotechnical hazards, and provide early warning of potential geotechnical problems.

Event tree analysis, fault tree analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation are all types of geotechnical risk assessment methods.

The purpose of a geotechnical design is to ensure the safety and stability of geotechnical structures, minimize the risk of geotechnical failures, and optimize the performance of geotechnical structures.

Earthwork, foundation construction, and slope stabilization are all types of geotechnical construction methods.
