In the field of civil engineering, the study of the dynamic properties of soils is essential to understand how their characteristics may be affected under cyclic or dynamic loads at various deformation levels. This paper introduces soil dynamics, highlighting the most studied properties and the different techniques used for their analysis. As a practical application, it includes part of the dynamic study conducted on tailings using the PS logging field test and laboratory techniques such as cyclic direct simple shear, resonant column and Bender elements. This approach enabled a comprehensive analysis of the material across a wide range of deformations. The results were consistent across techniques, producing a complete degradation curve and validating an integrated approach to dynamically evaluate tailings and their temporal evolution.
