Engineering work in or on the ground must deal with geological material of an uncertain nature. Engineering geology applies geological understanding to engineering problems and deals appropriately with ground-related uncertainty. So practical investigation and interpretation techniques need to be applied in a project holistic manner.
This moves from the fundamentals of geotechnical engineering... Read more
