This module aims to lay the essential background of Fundamental Soil Mechanics essential to geotechnician to understand and predict the behavior of a complex multiphase (air, water, solid) material : soil. It makes the link with Solid Mechanics (UE MSS), of which he shows a concrete application. It is notably intended for future students of the Ecological Transition & Territories option.
