<p>81.199.145.74: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Engineering Geology''' is the application of the science of [[geology]] to the understanding of [[geologic]] phenomena and the engineering solution of [[geologic hazards]] and other geologic problems for society. 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. 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 people and property against damage and the solution of geologic problems. <br /> <br /> Engineering geologic studies may be performed <br /> *for residential, commercial and industrial developments; <br /> *for governmental and [[military]] installations; <br /> *for public works such as a [[power plant]], [[wind turbine]], electrical [[transmission line]], [[sewage treatment]] plant, [[water treatment]] plant, [[pipeline]] ([[aqueduct]], [[sewer]], [[outfall]]), [[tunnel]], [[trenchless]] construction, [[canal]], [[dam]], [[reservoir]], building, [[railroad]], [[transit]], [[highway]], [[bridge]], [[seismic retrofit]], airport and park; <br /> <br /> ==Geologic Hazards==<br /> Typical [[geologic hazards]] evaluated by an [[engineering geologist]] include <br /> *[[fault rupture]] on seismically active [[faults]] ;<br /> *[[seismic]] and [[earthquake]] hazards (ground shaking, [[liquefaction]], [[lurching]],[[lateral spreading]], [[tsunami]] and [[seiche]] events);<br /> *[[landslide]], [[mudflow]], [[rock fall]] and [[avalanche]] hazards ;<br /> *[[unstable slopes]] and [[slope stability]];<br /> *[[erosion]];<br /> *[[slaking]] and [[heave]] of geologic formations; <br /> *ground [[subsidence]] (such as due to [[ground water]] withdrawal, [[sinkhole]] collapse, [[cave]] collapse, decomposition of organic soils, and [[tectonic]] movement); <br /> *[[volcanic]] hazards ([[volcanic eruption]]s, [[hot springs]], [[pyroclastic flows]], [[debris flows]], [[gas emissions]], volcanic [[earthquakes]]); <br /> *collapsible soils;<br /> *shallow ground water/seepage; and<br /> *other types of geologic constraints.</div>
