👉 Rocks engineering, also known as rock mechanics or geotechnical engineering, is a specialized field that deals with the behavior and manipulation of rocks and soil in various construction and infrastructure projects. It involves understanding the physical properties, strength, and stability of rocks under different conditions to design safe and efficient structures. This includes tasks such as site investigation, rock mass classification, slope stability analysis, excavation and ground support design, and the assessment of potential rock hazards. By applying principles from physics, geology, and materials science, rocks engineers ensure that constructions like dams, tunnels, mines, and buildings are built on stable geological foundations, minimizing risks of failure and ensuring long-term durability.
