Engineering Geology (ENG GEOL)

This journal is an international media publication for its own research, case history and comprehensive review in the field of engineering geology. It includes all geological studies that may be related to engineering, environmental problems, and safety. The editor is responsible for interpretation of aerial photographs of land use, risk management in geological processes (earthquakes, floods, river diversion, landslides, etc.), geological factors affecting the evaluation of river behavior, restoration of groundwater supply Will be discussed. All papers will be judged by the editorial committee in order to maintain high level science such as field assessment of earthquake occurrence, ground storage standard of hazardous waste, investigation technology, engineering geological map etc. Its purpose is to create internationally reported journals that contribute to the development of engineering geology.

Engineering geology is an application of geology in engineering research to ensure that geological factors in engineering location, design, construction, operation and maintenance are recognized and explained. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical advice, analysis and design on human development and various types of structures. The field of engineering geologists is a field that mainly studies the field of interaction between the earth and the structure, or how the earth or earth process affects artificial structures and human activities.

Geological research has existed for centuries, but at least in its modern form, the science and practice of engineering geology has come to be recognized as an academic field from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century It was. The first book "Engineering Geology" was published by William Penning in 1880. In the early 20th century, Charles Barkey was a well-trained geologist in the United States and was considered the first American engineering geologist working on several water supply projects in New York City. I am working on Hoover Dam and many other engineering projects. The first American engineering geology textbook was written by Ries and Watson in 1914. In 1921, Reginald W. Brock, the first dean of the Department of Applied Sciences at the University of British Columbia, started the first undergraduate course and graduate degree program of geoengineering, the first graduate student with engineering foundation He pointed out that he became a geologist.

Geology includes the dynamics and physical history of the earth, including rocks, minerals, and the elements it forms. Geotechnical engineering is a practical application of geology. Engineers in this field understand building materials and technology. They study the quality of the land and how it can be built inside and outside the land. They use their knowledge and understanding of the material of the earth to determine the proper support and foundation needed for large structures. This process begins with a feasibility study of the site by testing the soil quality, the slope of the ground, and the properties of the rock. They designed the foundation and took measures to mitigate the effects of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Geotechnical engineers need to consider sustainable ways when investigating and planning buildings. They often work for mining and oil companies and often have a wide range of skills including economics and project management.
