Geotech

At Texas Tech University, the Geotechnical Engineering Program is dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of granular materials in natural and built environments. We recognize the importance of soils and rocks as engineering materials and focus on addressing the challenges related to their behavior and mitigation of natural and man-made hazards. 

Our faculty and students engage in conducting fundamental and applied research using analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. Research topics include the analysis, design and construction of foundations, slopes, and earth retaining structures, soil-structure interactions, site and material characterization, ground improvement, natural hazard assessment and mitigation, environmental geotechnics, and energy geotechnics. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to develop innovative and resilient solutions for infrastructure and energy needs in society.
