Geoteknikk omhandler hvordan å bygge på, i eller av jord. Klassiske problemstillinger innebærer hvordan man kan unngå store setninger av dine byggverk, velge riktig fundamentering, unngå ras og instabilitet.

Store utbygginger på kontinentalsokkelen for å hente opp for eksempel olje og gass, krever kunnskap om jordas oppbygging og virkemåte. Man må sørger for at både graving og utbygging skal kunne utføres på en trygg og forsvarlig måte.
