Regional engineering geology 1300-WRGINZ-GES

The specific conditions of engineering geology regionalization resulting from the interactions of designed or existing buildings with the geological environment were determined. Direct impacts resulting from the practical extent of load propagation as well as geodynamic processes induced during the construction and operation of objects are taken into account. Principles and methodology of engineering geology regionalization includes the analysis of many aspects:. physical geography, photogeology, geomorphology, geological structures, neotectonic style, dynamics and changes in hydro(geo)logical conditions. Separation of lithogenetic types is correlated with the determination of representative characteristics of soil and rock properties and the assessment of their variability. This process requires critical analyses of databases and synthetic monographs. Anthropogenic transformations and the separation of regional units in which weak and problematic soils dominate has major significance. The subject of comparisons are various, previously worked out proposals for engineering geology regionalization based on leading engineering geology properties and processes, and attempts to quantify them. The examples of the future development of the GIS methodology and the presentation of parametric attributes in valorisation and engineering geology regionalization will also be presented.
