This lecture covers geotechnical aspects related to a hydraulic construction platform, focusing on factors such as internal pressure, construction costs, and water losses. It discusses the location of windows, construction constraints, and the influence of geology on infrastructure design. The presentation delves into the estimation of water losses, the impact of coatings on leaks, and the choice of route based on resistance of the rocky massif. It also explores the types of coatings suitable for different rock conditions, emphasizing the importance of stability and water table preservation. The lecture concludes with insights on load-bearing structures, legal requirements, and the optimization of energy value in hydraulic constructions.
