This lecture covers the challenges related to natural hazards such as landslides and mudflows, as well as the solutions proposed in the field of soil mechanics. Topics include the importance of cohesion in landslides, the impact of reinforcement techniques, and the calculation of rebound coefficients. The lecture also addresses the testing of block falls, the role of drilling in geotechnical engineering, and the risks associated with information security. Throughout the presentation, various practical examples and case studies are discussed, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of addressing geological and engineering challenges.
