Italian term or phrase: rocce di fondazione
Un componente del terreno, il concetto è chiaro ma non riesco a trovare una traduzione affidabile:
"Indagini del sottosuolo
Le indagini geotecniche vengono eseguite per valutare quelle condizioni geologiche, sismiche e del terreno che influiscono sulla sicurezza, sull’efficacia dei costi, sulla progettazione ed esecuzione del progetto tecnico proposto. Indagini geotecniche insufficienti, errata interpretazione dei risultati, o mancata raffigurazione dei risultati, può comprensibilmente contribuire a progetti inadeguati, ritardi nel programma di costruzione, modifiche costose alla costruzione, danni ambientali al sito, lavori correttivi post-costruzione e persino cedimenti della costruzione.
Le indagini eseguite per stabilire l’ambientazione geologica del progetto comprendono:
• le condizioni geologiche, sismiche e del terreno che influiscono sulla scelta del sito del progetto;
• le caratteristiche del terreno e delle rocce di fondazione;
• le condizioni geotecniche che influiscono sulla sicurezza del progetto, sulla progettazione e la costruzione."
