RESUMEN: Se insiste en la influencia que la ingeniería geotécnica ha tenido en la planificación, el proyecto, la construcción, la supervisión, el control de calidad, la operación, la conservación y el cierre de las presas de jales mexicanas, para lograr su seguridad con economía, la máxima estabilidad de taludes y la mejor resistencia a la licuación por sismo o explosión, la tubificación, la erosión y el derrame sobre la corona de la cortina contenedora, tomando en cuenta siempre el medio ambiente. Se presentan algunas propiedades y conceptos fundamentales especialmente para las cortinas contenedoras, así como otros aspectos geotécnicos incluidos en las normas oficiales mexicanas.
