Without them, it is not possible to: define the ground conditions; identify any geohazards or other engineering constraints; identify potential resources; provide a basis for construction tendering; establish risk registers; determine reference conditions; design the works; or evaluate the environmental consequences of projects. A methodology for ground model development has yet to be fully established, but understanding geomorphological processes and landforms is central to the creation of effective models. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a methodology that ensures geomorphology is fully integrated into the already well-defined approaches for investigating and interpreting the geological and geotechnical conditions. This happens most effectively where geomorphology is seen as part of engineering geology and is fully integrated in the site investigation process. This is not a universal situation however, as a great deal of geomorphological research is undertaken as part of physical geography and is not widely accessed during standard desk studies. Engineering geologists need to access this high-quality research and bring it into ground models that are presently biased towards geology and geotechnics. When this is achieved, engineering geological ground models will become genuinely fit for purpose.","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127228126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strategic infrastructures are structures and components which have a crucial role in the social and economic development of a modern country, and include lifelines and industrial plants. Lifelines frequently have a linear development and can be affected by very heterogeneous and complex geological setting. Industrial plants, on the other hand, frequently treat toxic and flammable materials. This paper deals with the definition of an effective geological and geotechnical three-dimensional model of the Biferno River coastal plain in the Molise region (Italy) as a key for a quantitative assessment of real performances of strategic infrastructures. Some remarks on the site seismic vulnerability and on the regional and local geological, geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions are given. The key objective of the seismic vulnerability assessment is discussed in relation to the spatial variability of the geological and geotechnical characteristics.","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122645062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eggers","doi":"10.1144/EGSP27.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1144/EGSP27.1","url":null,"abstract":"The 1992 statutes of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) define engineering geology as follows. ‘Engineering geology is a science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works and activities of man as well as to the prediction of, and the development of, measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards.’ (Delgado et al. 2014)\u0000\u0000The New Penguin Dictionary of Geology describes engineering geology as the ‘application of geological information, techniques and principles to the design, construction and maintenance of engineering works’ (Kearey 1996). Hencher (2012) defines engineering geology as the ‘scientific study of geology as it relates to civil engineering projects such as the design of a bridge, construction of a dam or preventing a landslide’. These are glimpses of the many definitions that can be found in the literature. A commonality in these descriptions is geology and in particular the application of geological sciences to engineering study.\u0000\u0000Broadening this discussion a little further, geology can be described as ‘the study of the Earth as a whole, its origin, structure, composition, and history…, and the nature of the processes which have given rise to its present state’. (Whitten & Brooks 1972). An important reflection of this definition is realizing the immensity of the science of geology. The variety of topics is far-reaching, from plate tectonics to mineralogy with everything in between. The essence of this argument is that all branches of geology are relevant in the study of engineering geology and with this comes the corollary that the science of engineering geology is a wide frontier.\u0000\u0000This characteristic of engineering geology is well recognized; Burwell & Roberts (1950) stated ‘Engineering Geology is not a branch …","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130855883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence, Hong Kong has recently commenced the systematic evaluation of landslides from natural slopes. This paper discusses the assessment approached adopted, limitations with the approach and the problems with landslide hazard assessment in general by means of a case study. The paper concludes that the current approach, whilst suitable for its original purpose, that is the rapid evaluation of the likely magnitude of landslide hazards at the review stage of a development, has limitations when used for systematic landslide assessments at existing developments. It is suggested that landslide hazard assessments to quantify ‘top events’, for example loss of life, would be an improved approach which would allow simplified quantitative risk assessment (QRA) to be undertaken. However, such an approach requires a significant level of engineering geological and engineering geomorphological input. In particular, the careful derivation of appropriate values of landslide magnitude and frequency, based on expert judgment and making use of available data, knowledge and experience.","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128859448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the coal is located in thick seams overlain by a thin veneer of sands and clays. Three brown coal open-cut mines are presently operating in the Latrobe Valley. As a result of the mining activity, ground movements can be significant within and around the mines. Slope stability has to be managed during all mine development phases. Recent stability issues at some mines have highlighted a need to review the historical geotechnical information and data with a view to guiding future data collection. To support this purpose, the existing understanding of the geomechanical properties of the brown coal has been revisited, with emphasis on impacts of unloading. The coal has low density (specific gravity <1.2) and high water content (>60% by volume). Given this background, historical data for 49 consolidation tests on one of the major mined upper coal seams, the Morwell seam, were extracted from the historical records. Additionally, 44 consolidation tests for interseam materials were also extracted for the same area. These data have been analysed by re-evaluation of the consolidation data. The analysis shows that the behaviour of brown coal differs from that of typical engineering soils, in that at lower load the stress v. strain gradient is higher than for greater loads. At higher loads the stress v. strain gradient is almost constant. These observations indicate that reassessment of the unloading parameters for slope design in the open cuts is required.","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127750887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is usually a collation and review of existing data and information about a site and, in some cases, the surrounding area, and carried out at an early stage of the ground investigation to inform and guide the ground investigation. It should provide suitable data and information to assess the ground conditions and the implications for the proposed engineering design. A similar approach can be taken to inform local, regional or national government with regard to development and the redevelopment of urban areas where ground investigation data and information are available. This paper describes a spatially defined geotechnical information system (GIS) designed to provide geological, geotechnical and geoenvironmental data and information for Glasgow City Council (Scotland). The system contains three main parts: the geology (bedrock, Quaternary and artificial deposits and the thickness and depth of these deposits); the data are presented as various summary graphs illustrating the variation of various parameters as well as a geotechnical and geoenvironmental database; and tools specifically developed to present the data. As undermining is a hazard in part of Glasgow, a dataset showing the distribution of mining is included. Further interpretation of the characteristics of the geological units has produced an engineering geological classification which may be used to provide rapid assessment of the engineering geological conditions.","PeriodicalId":266864,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology Special Publication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125238279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
