Mécanique des sols. La branche la plus ancienne de la géotechnique est constituée par la mécanique des sols, concernée par les dépôts meubles, de faible résistance, tels que sables, vases, argiles, qui composent souvent le sous-sol des surfaces horizontales [...] Le comportement des roches dures qui relève de la mécanique des roches, ne pose guère de problèmes pour la fondation des édifices courants. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9canique%20des%20roches
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La mécanique des sols tend à limiter son domaine à l'étude des matériaux meubles, tandis que la mécanique des roches acquiert son indépendance. 4, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9canique%20des%20roches
