Abstract Terzaghi is generally acknowledged as the father of soil mechanics. The paper draws attention to his appreciation of an understanding of the geological profile in terms of its engineering significance. His contribution is considered in terms of the modern practice of modelling and his own emphasis on the importance of experience and judgement. The “geotechnical triangle” is discussed as a useful way of bringing together the important aspects of the geotechnical engineer’s work.
