Not a course Introduction to geotechnical engineering. Soil and rock. Description and fundamental parameters, we delve into the fundamental characteristics of the ground upon which we build our progress. We learn about the essential role of soil and rock in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering, exploring their formation, classification and properties. From the identification of granular solos the complexities of clays, elements primordial as volumes, weights and discontinuities are carefully analysed. This knowledge is fundamental to the assessment and management of geotechnical risks, making it essential for professionals seeking to excellence in infrastructure and environmental projects. With a didactic approach, the course provides a solid foundation to understand geostructural systems and their interactions.
