'''Engineering Geology''' is the application of the geologic sciences to engineering practice for the purpose of assuring that the geologic factors affecting the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and adequately provided for. Engineering geologists investigate and provide geologic and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design. fuck im sexii and want to fuck some one Engineering geologic studies may be performed during the planning, [[environmental impact analysis]], [[civil engineering]] [[design]], [[value engineering]] and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and [[forensic]] phases of projects. Works completed by engineering geologists include; geologic hazards, geotechnical, material properties, landslide and slope stability, erosion, flooding, dewatering, and seismic investigations, etc. Engineering geologic studies are performed by a [[geologist]] or [[engineering geologist]] educated, professionally trained and skilled at the recognition and analysis of [[geologic hazards]] and adverse geologic conditions. Their overall objective is the protection of life and property against damage and the solution of geologic problems.

Engineering geologic studies may be performed
*for residential, commercial and industrial developments;
*for governmental and [[military]] installations;
*for public works such as a [[power plant]], [[wind turbine]], [[transmission line]], [[sewage treatment]] plant, [[water treatment]] plant, [[Pipeline_transport|pipeline]] ([[aqueduct]], [[sewer]], [[outfall]]), [[tunnel]], [[trenchless]] construction, [[canal]], [[dam]], [[reservoir (water)|reservoir]], building, [[railroad]], [[transit]], [[highway]], [[bridge]], [[seismic retrofit]], [[airport]] and park;
*for [[Mining|mine]] and [[quarry]] excavations, [[mine tailing dam]], [[mine reclamation]] and mine [[tunneling]];
*for [[wetland]] and [[habitat restoration]] programs;
*for [[coastal]] engineering, [[sand replenishment]], [[bluff]] or [[sea cliff]] stability, [[harbor]], [[pier]] and waterfront development;
*for offshore [[outfall]], [[drilling platform]] and [[sub-sea pipeline]], sub-sea cable; and
*for other types of facilities.

==Geologic Hazards and Adverse Geologic Conditions==
Typical [[geologic hazards]] or other adverse conditions evaluated by an [[engineering geologist]] include:
*[[fault rupture]] on seismically active [[faults]] ;
*[[seismic]] and [[earthquake]] hazards (ground shaking, [[liquefaction]], [[lurching]],[[lateral spreading]], [[tsunami]] and [[seiche]] events);
*[[landslide]], [[mudflow]], [[rock fall]] and [[avalanche]] hazards ;
*[[unstable slopes]] and [[slope stability]];
*[[erosion]];
*[[slaking]] and [[heave]] of geologic formations;
*ground [[subsidence]] (such as due to [[ground water]] withdrawal, [[sinkhole]] collapse, [[cave]] collapse, decomposition of organic soils, and [[tectonic]] movement);
*[[volcanic]] hazards ([[volcanic eruption]]s, [[hot springs]], [[pyroclastic flows]], [[debris flows]], [[debris avalanche]], [[gas emissions]], volcanic [[earthquakes]]);
*[[non-rippable]] or [[marginally rippable]] rock requiring heavy ripping or [[blasting]];
*weak and collapsible soils;
*shallow ground water/seepage; and
*other types of geologic constraints.

An engineering geologist or [[geophysicist]] may be called upon to evaluate the [[excavatability]] (i.e. [[rippability]]) of earth (rock) materials to assess the need for pre-[[blasting]] during earthwork construction, as well as associated impacts due to [[oscillation|vibration]] during blasting on projects.

=='''Methods and Reporting'''==

The methods used by [[engineering geologist]]s in their studies include
*geologic field [[mapping]] of geologic structures, geologic formations, soil units and hazards;
*the review of geologic literature, geologic maps, geotechnical reports, engineering plans, environmental reports, stereoscopic [[aerial photograph]]s, remote sensing data, [[Global Positioning System]] (GPS) data, topographic maps and [[satellite]] imagery;
*the excavation, sampling and logging of earth/rock materials in drilled borings, backhoe test pits and trenches, fault trenching, and bulldozer pits;
*[[geophysical]] surveys (such as [[seismic refraction]] traverses, [[resistivity]] surveys, [[ground penetrating radar]] (GPR) surveys, [[magnetometer]] surveys, [[electromagnetic]] surveys, high-resolution sub-bottom profiling, and other geophysical methods); and
*other methods.
The field work is typically culminated in analysis of the data and the preparation of an engineering geologic report, geotechnical report, fault hazard or seismic hazard report, geophysical report, [[ground water]] resource report or [[hydrogeology|hydrogeologic]] report. The engineering geologic report is often prepared in conjunction with a [[geotechnical report]], but commonly provide geotechnical analysis and design recommendations independent of a geotechnical report. An engineering geologic report describes the objectives, methodology, references cited, tests performed, findings and recommendations for development. Engineering geologists also provide geologic data on topograpic maps, aerial photographs, geologic maps, [[Geographic_information_system|Geographic Information System]] (GIS) maps, or other map bases.

==Introduction==

Since you're here, you either are someone wishing to share your knowledge of Mathematics, or you are someone who wishes to gain knowledge about Mathematics. If you are the first kind of person, have a look around, and see how you can contribute. If you are of the second kind, read on!

Mathematics has many facets. Though it has a wealth of applications, Mathematics is also a science, and an art, in its own right. Like other sciences, Mathematics is useful, but, just like other forms of art, Mathematics is beautiful, in its own unique way. You might not see this beauty at first, but the main goal of the Wikiversity School of Mathematics is to let you see this beauty, through inquiry and learning. To achieve this goal, we want to inspire you, since inspiration is essential to learning, discovery, and ultimately, seeing the beauty of Mathematics. A little bit of inspiration can put the beauty of Mathematics, and all its facets, before your eyes.

The School of Mathematics is a work in progress. We are trying to organize our material into a logical order, create new material, and revise existing material. Although we try to keep clarity in mind, if any of the material is confusing, you don't know where to start, or you have other questions, ''do not hesitate to pose your question at [[Topic:School of Mathematics Help Desk|our help desk]]''. There is no such thing as a "dumb question"; learning is driven by questions!

{{Otheruses3|Fanboys}}

'' '''Fanboy''' '' or '' '''fanboi''' '' is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the feminine version ''fangirl'' may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an [[obsession]].

==History of fanboys and the term==
The term originated in [[comic book]] circles, to describe someone who immersed himself in the fictional worlds of comics and the culture of comics fandom. The term is often used in a derogatory manner by other less obsessed fans. In the songs of the fannish [[parody]] [[musician]] [[Luke Ski]], many characters proudly consider themselves ''fanboys''. The term is most commonly associated with adolescent and teen males but can be applicable to any age or sex. Common subjects of reverence by fanboys are [[TV show]]s, [[film|movie]]s, [[music]], [[anime]], [[car]]s, [[video game console]]s, [[video games]], [[operating system]]s, [[MMORPG]]s, and [[software]] companies.

The stereotypical image of the fanboy is as an unkempt, socially awkward, young man who may be perceived as a loud mouthed [[pseudo-intellectual]]. A popular depiction of this stereotype is the [[Comic Book Guy]] on ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

The earliest use of the word "fanboy" has been dated to 1982, to the cover of the "Official Underground and Newave Comix Price Guide". On this cover page are sketched overweight, overzealous comic book collectors wearing T-shirts that state "Fanboys of America," and are describing the extreme measures they would go to, including moving to San Francisco to preserve their comics. Another early use is in a smart-alec editorial reply by "[[Ambush Bug]]" to a letter in his comic in [[1985]].

==Common fanboy groups==
There are several fanboy groups, and below are a few of these.
Many fanboys endorse a particular brand or product, some without even questioning the quality of competing products.

*The [[graphics processing unit]] (GPU) company [[ATI]]
*The competing GPU company [[nVidia]]
*The [[computer]] [[microprocessor]] company [[AMD]]
*The competing microprocessor company [[Intel]]
*The [[automobile]] company Ford
*The competing car brand Chevrolet
*The [[cola]] product [[Coke]], from the [[Coca-Cola company]]
*The competing cola product Pepsi, from [[PepsiCo]]
*The competing [[PSP]] and [[DS]]

==Trivia==
The word "fanboys" can be a [[mnemonic]] [[acronym]] for the [[Grammatical conjunction|coordinating conjunction]]s of the [[English language]]: "for", "and", "nor", "but", "or", "yet", and "so".

Jorge Ramos a 25 year old male who currently resides in the Netherlands largely known as Boyzndahood on badboyforever.com is recoginized across the internet as the most active fanboy on the World Wide Web

Ramos has dedicated is own myspace page to the promotion of BadBoy entertainment a company for which he is not an employee of

Ramos is also known for contacting various employees of and people assosciated with Bad Boy
