Question

I hope that the answer line is clear so that I can write it .. and that the answer be with the sketch

1. Explain the process of incorporation of Engineering Geology in the maintenance stage of a construction project. Describe your answer with a construction project example and a sketch.

Answer 1

Construction Engineering Geology is application of goologic sciences to engineering practices to assure the safe location, design, operation and maintenance of engineering works, which may not be adversely affected by potential geological problems. Most civil engineering projects involve some excavation of soil, rodes or involve loading the eaath by building on it. feasibility, planning and design, the construction and costing and safety of the project may depend critically geological where construction takes place on Conditions advice of Example - Channel Tunnel Project and construction of motorways, In a section of the Mg motorway linking Edinburgh and stirling that crosses abandoned oil shale workings, realignment of the mad, on government geologists, led to a substantial saving. In modest projects, or in those involving the redevelopment of a limited site, demands geological knowledge of the engineer or need for geological advice will be less, but never negligible. site investigation by boring and by testing samples may be an adequate preliminary to on Construction in such cases
