The common platform as formulated by the JEWG the JEWG identified the following three areas as fundamental to ground engineering: -Geomechanics,as the umbrella term for both soil mechanics and rock mechanics -Engineering geology and -Design and implementation of ground engineering structures (ground engineering in its narrow sense)

The triangle of geomechanics:soil mechanics and rock mechanics Ground engineering is based on a sound understanding of the mechanical behavior of geological materials.Due to the assemblage of solids and fluids and their intrinsic nature within a fractured system,the mechanical behavior of geological materials must incorporate principles of solid mechanics,fluid mechanics a and the mechanics of discontinua
