Geotechnical Engineering

Today my dad came in to talk about soils. He works at Golder Associates.
Here is a bit that I learned about soil. First, I will tell you about erosion. Erosion is when a rock is on the beach gets pounded by the waves for years then the rock gets smaller and smaller until it is reduced to sand, and silt.
Next, I will tell you what type of ground you need to build buildings on. You need to build them on hard ground because if you build it on soft ground it will tip over. My dad also showed us a picture of a landslide in Japan. That is some of the stuff I learned what did you learn?
