Geotechnical engineering is not a branch of geological engineering. Most civil engineers have never heard of geological engineering, but all civil engineers know about geotechnical engineering. It is because geotechnical engineering is taught at virtually every institution that offers civil engineering, which is not even close to true with geological engineering. |

====Ground improvement====
Various geotechnical engineering methods can be used for ground improvement, including reinforcement [[geosynthetics]] such as geocells and geogrids, which disperse loads over a larger area, increasing the load-bearing capacity of soil. Deep soil injection is a method used to reinforce the ground beneath structures by injecting high-density polymers into the soil to fill voids and compact it.<ref>{{cite web |title=Deep Soil Injection |url=https://stratalockusa.com/deep-soil-injection-process/ |website=Stratalock USA |access-date=13 May 2024}}</ref> Through these methods, geotechnical engineers can reduce direct and long-term costs.<ref>{{cite book | title=Ground Improvement Technologies and Case Histories | publisher=Research Publishing Services | author=RAJU, V.
