Geological and geophysical investigation in route selection
161A 913251 Geological and geophysical investigation in route selection Ridruejo, C S Proc 5th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Buenos Aires, 20-25 October 1986 V4, P2693-2697. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema. 1990
913255 Compiling of special engineering-geological maps Broutchev, I Pear 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 VI. P3944. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1990
The selection of the best solution in engineering works for transport projects is important and relies largely on experience and imagination, since it is not bound to fixed rules. The interaction of expertise from civil engineers and geologists is outlined. Also emphasised is the selection of the best route which plays a major part in selection of the best solution. Site investigation and mapping as a first stage in planning is outlined and economies possible if major obstacles can be avoided for both surface and subsurface projects are discussed.
Given the realisation of the complicated relationship between man and nature and the fact that the relation has to be scientifically regulated so that no harm is done to either party, engineering geology has taken a different dimension. There has been a growing need to tackle these challenges at both regional and global scales. The problems of compilation of review engineering geological maps of large areas and widening the spectrum of special maps of different scales are discussed.

913256 G.I.S. in geology: an application for engineering geology maps Brunori, F; Moretti, S Proc 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 VI, P4549. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema. 1990
The very poor geotechnical conditions of the subsoil in the west of the Netherlands, combined with high population density, give a special dimension to engineering geology in this area. Very sophisticated surveying methods for both onshore and offshore and mapping techniques for providing information on the subsoil conditions have been developed. However, recent research has concentrated on numerical modelling methods, three dimensional geographical information systems, expert systems and simulation models. The geology of the area and the current and future research directions are discussed.
The rapid developments in technology and new socio-economic requirements make it necessary to change the approaches in cartographic mapping. The interaction between GIS and cartography gives an important contribution to representing and elaborating information obtained from a particular study. A GIS system based on GEOSYS software has been applied to obtain well detailed and easy to interpret maps. Detailed applications of this system are discussed,
913253 Mapping of the mechanical properties of a salt dome Albrecht. H; Hunsche. U; Plischke, I; Schulze, O Proc 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 VI. P2329. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1990 The knowledge of the mechanical bchaviour of rock salt is very important both for the long-term analysis of a permanent repository for radioactive waste in a salt dome and for the design of mines and caverns. A mapping and characterization procedure using laboratory tests, including creep and failure tests under uniaxial and triaxial conditions, is outlined. The method will be used for the insitu investigation of a salt dome which is a possible repository site. 913254 Environmental-geological mapping and evaluation in the Cantabrian mountains, Spain Alonso, E; Frances, E, Cendrero, A Proc 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 V I. P3137. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema. 1990 The use of geoscientific maps of various types provides the means of assessing the land capability for different activities by a flexible combination of engineering geological information with other environmental data. An environmental-geological mapping procedure was applied to two areas of the Cantabrian mountains in Spain. This work aimed at providing maps with different levels of details for planning purposes, and establishing a relationship between geological and other abiotic parameters, plus soils and vegetation information, for land use purposes.
913257 Construction of small-scale sketch maps for mountain-folded areas with the example of Georgia Buachidze, J M; Djavakhishvili, E A; Djandjgava, K 1 Proc 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 VI, P5153. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema, 1990 Large area engineering-geological maps are usually produced so as to give a reflection of the engineering geological environment of large regions and their zoning to major taxonomic units. This allows one to distinguish areas according to rock strength indices, tectogenetic morphological peculiarities, and formation principles. The production of an engineering-geological map of Georgia, a region with peculiar tectonic structures, variable lithology, and intricate geomorphology, is presented as an example of this technique. 913258 Engineering geological mapping in the northern shelf of South China Sea Chen Jinren; Pang Gaocun Proe 6th International Congress International Association of Engineering Geology, Amsterdam, 6-10 August 1990 VI, P5556. Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema. 1990 The principles of, contents of, and methods of construction of marine engineering geological maps are outlined. They may be developed for purposes of seafloor engineering, environmental protection, exploration or exploitation of subsea resources, or as a basis for further study. They illustrate engineering geological features and their change, and zones of potential instability. They include data from CPTs and cores, geological structures and units, geomorphic patterns, bathymetric lines, seismic activity, and existing hazards.
