L’organisation du travail en géotechnique : développement, normalisation et artisanat
Organisation of labour in geotechnical engineering : development, standardisation and craftsmanship
Laboratoire central des ponts et chaussées 58, bd Lefebvre 75732 Paris Cedex 15, France.
Cet article examine les raisons qui conduisent à considérer la géotechnique comme un métier autant qu’une collection de disciplines scientifiques. Ce métier ne peut être découpé en tâches élémentaires et s’apparente par beaucoup d’aspects à l’artisanat. Cela conduit à des conditions spéciales pour l’exercice de professions qui peuvent être séparées dans d’autres domaines : enseignants et chercheurs doivent maîtriser l’exercice du métier géotechnique. Les normes tiennent comptent aussi des spécificités de la géotechnique et laissent une large place à la responsabilité individuelle des géotechniciens.
Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons why geotechnical engineering should be considered as a craft as much as a collection of scientific disciplines. This type of activity cannot be split into elementary tasks and it has many ommon features with craftsmanship. This results in a profession, which cannot be divided, as it is possible in other fields : teachers and research workers must have a thorough knowledge of geotechnical engineering and leave much room for the personal responsibility of geotechnical engineers.
