In the last few years geotechnical engineering has expanded its domain into the field of Energy Geotechnics. This has led to the study of the behavior of soils and rocks under complex and extreme conditions involving mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, and geochemical coupled actions. This branch of geotechnical engineering will play a fundamental role in the near future due to the increase in energy demands in the next decades associated with economic development and population growth worldwide. Geotechnical engineering is often at the core of the energy challenge, from production and transportation, to waste management and carbon sequestration. The goal of geotechnical engineers is to provide sustainable geotechnical solutions for these energy related society's needs. Discipline scientifique :
