Engineering Geology for Infrastructure Planning in Europe - A European Perspective

Geologists and civil engineers related to infrastructure planning, design and building describe professional practices and engineering geological methods in different European infrastructure projects.

List of contents

Professional practices: cooperation/competition between geologists and engineers; education requirements; standardisation (ISO, CEN,etc.).- Engineering geological methods: digital characterisation and modeling of the subsurface; new developments in site investigation; testing and performance monitoring.- Infrastructure projects (case studies): inner-city projects; European traffic routes; mining projects; redevelopment and reclamation of land.

Summary

Geologists and civil engineers related to infrastructure planning, design and building describe professional practices and engineering geological methods in different European infrastructure projects.
