Étude faite par un géotechnicien au moyen d'enquêtes, de sondages et d'essais se rapportant au sol de fondation, destinée à fournir et à interpréter les données (physiques, mécaniques, hydrogéologiques) indispensables à la conception d'un ouvrage et à sa réalisation. L'interprétation concerne ainsi, non seulement les fondations au sens strict (type, cotes, taux de travail, tassement), mais tout ce qui peut intéresser l'ouvrage en phase de travaux et en phase d'exploitation : stabilité générale du site, mouvements de terre, stabilité des fouilles, réemploi des matériaux, mode de remblaiement, structures de voiries, drainages provisoires et définitifs, soutènements, dallages, etc. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tude%20g%C3%A9otechnique
