[Un] bloc-diagramme idéal [a mis] en exergue les caractéristiques d’un glissement de terrain complexe. On y observe une surface de rupture très nette le long de laquelle les matériaux impliqués dans le glissement de terrain se déplacent au-dessus de matériaux que le phénomène n’ affecte pas. Le diagramme montre également que la surface de rupture s’étend sur une profondeur considérable de sorte qu'un glissement de terrain ne saurait être considéré comme un phénomène superficiel. 1, record 1, French, - glissement%20de%20terrain%20complexe

Charge unitaire qui appliquée au sol, provoque sa rupture. Cette rupture est définie de façon conventionnelle sur un diagramme de chargement, par la charge unitaire à partir de laquelle le tassement devient asymptotique, ou égal au dixième de la largeur de la surface chargée(pieu, plaque...). Il ne s’agit pas d’une caractéristique intrinsèque du sol : la capacité portante dépend, en effet, de la forme et de la dimension de la surface chargée, du processus de chargement, de son interprétation, etc. 1, record 3, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20portante%20du%20sol

On détermine la résistance à la rupture par traction en mesurant la force nécessaire pour rompre une bande de papier de longueur normalisée, la vitesse de traction étant également spécifiée dans la norme. L'allongement du papier peut être déterminé simultanément. Certains appareils de traction fournissent un diagramme force/allongement et permettent de calculer l'énergie à la rupture, qui est une mesure de la résistance du papier. Ces machines donnent aussi des mesures d’allongement du papier sous différentes charges de traction. 3, record 4, French, - allongement
