Geomechanics

Geomechanics is a way of studying how rocks and soil below the earth's surface move and change over time. It looks at the types of rocks, their sizes and shapes, and how they interact with each other. Geomechanics also studies how rocks and soil move around when they are pushed or pulled by forces such as gravity, wind, and earthquakes. When geomechanics is used, scientists and engineers can better understand how the ground might move or change in different areas. This helps them to plan and design projects such as roads, bridges, and buildings in ways that are safer and better for the environment.
