ABSTRACT: (150-250 palabras)

The main idea of this project is to identify possible indicators to evaluate civil engineering works that involves geotechnical techniques. Furthermore, the idea to encourage the developing of new technologies using as base, properly process that are available at the moment, might be attempt. However, to find these indicators of sustainable geotechnical engineering is the principal objectives of the project.

In general words, the objectives of this thesis are:

•    In base of sustainable indicators from different areas such as economics, water management, environment regulations, productivity in the industrial field among others, adapted and developed indicators for geotechnical engineering field.
•    According with the sustainable geotechnical requirements, proposed new indicators relevant for this field.
•    Validate and prove the use of the mentioned indicators with a case study and apply them to analyze their results.
•    Develop an evaluation model to summaries and illustrated the indicators performance.
•    Show the viability of new technologies confronting to regular procedures.

This dissertation has found an important and fundamental tool for geotechnical engineers that want to go further that the actual design parameters. Moreover, the necessities to supply the present requirements are covering with the use of sustainability geotechnical evaluation model (S.G.E.M) that is the final result of this dissertation.
