Here\'s an explanation found at the School of Engineering website. (http://www.tech.plym.ac.uk/civ/MISC/iv.html) Hope this answers your question.
\"Geotechnics is a combination of Geology and Soil Mechanics. Before anything can be constructed the strength of the ground that forms the foundation must be investigated and assessed. Afterwards, a suitable method of ground treatment and foundation must be designed. Geotechnics is also concerned with problems such as the consolidation and settlement of motorway embankments, for instance. Consequently this topic may also be met in Highways Engineering, along with a consideration of the stability of cuttings, road drainage, traffic loads, vehicle numbers, and the design of tarmac and concrete road pavements.\"

Perdón por no haber hecho el comentario en Español. Pero en el sitio que le indico, puede ver una definición de \"geotechnics\" muy similar a la de geotecnia en el texto que Usted proporcionó. Espero le sea de utilidad.

: Siol mechanics is only one aspect of geotechnics. Please see below.
