La sensibilisation du rôle de l'étude géotechnique dans tout projet de fondation et d'infrastructure est devenue plus qu'une nécessité eu égard des dégâts matériels et de pertes de vies humaines que pourrait engendrer les catastrophes naturelles telle ce les crues exceptionnelles de Fouka et de Bouismail.

This post explains the different types of soil textures as well as the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Soil Texture Types:
Soil texture refers to the proportion of different sized mineral particles in soil. The three main types of soil textures are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, ranging in size from 0.05mm to 2mm, and are often visible to the naked eye. Silt particles are smaller than sand particles, ranging in size from 0.002mm to 0.05mm. Clay particles are the smallest, less than 0.002mm in size. The texture of soil affects the soil's ability to retain water, nutrients, and air, which in turn affects plant growth.
Sedimentary Rocks:
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and consolidation of sediment or mineral particles. Sediments can be derived from the weathering and erosion of existing rocks, as well as from organic materials. These sediments are transported and deposited in layers, where they are compacted and cemented together to form rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
Metamorphic Rocks:
Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo a change in their physical or chemical properties due to heat, pressure, or both. This process is called metamorphism. The original rock, or protolith, can be a sedimentary, igneous, or another metamorphic rock. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble, slate, and gneiss.
Igneous Rocks:
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. This molten material, called magma or lava, can be derived from deep within the Earth's crust or mantle. Igneous rocks can be classified into two types: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive rocks form when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive rocks form when lava cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and pumice.
