Soil mechanics
Goals
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.

Sustainable Development Goals
DD&RS level 1
Activity contextualised through environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility and/or supported by examples, exercises, applications.
Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
The development of urban sites requires attention to problems linked to the circulation of water in the soil, the stability of slopes and the resistance of the soil. If the conditions are not met, the projects will not be able to succeed and if water conditions change, they may call into question the sustainability of this Development.
