Objectives
Identify and characterize geological materials, massifs and geological structures.
Read and interpret geological maps and geological profiles.
Perform tests for soil identification, classification and compaction control and interpret results.
Perform calculations to determine the physical indices of geological materials, flow rates, water pressure in the soil and structures, lowering of the water table and its consequences.
Know the stress-strain relationships and calculations.
Prepare reports.
Issuing an opinion or conclusion on the work carried out.

Practice: Identification of mineral and rock samples. Tests: soil classification and characterization and compaction control. Exercise resolution.

Evaluation Methodology
The assessment, at any time, consists of a written test with a theoretical and practical component (80%) and delivery, mandatory, of a report on the work carried out in the laboratory (20%). Approval: in each component, a minimum of 40% of the quotation and a total classification equal to or greater than 9.5 out of 20.
