"This book is on the new trends and technology, and especially on different computational methods that can model engineering phenomena automatically. It will open up possibilities of more rigorous analysis with new methods and technology so engineers canfind the effective and efficient execution of their work to optimize very complicated and non-linear relations"--
Researchers in mining and civil engineering show how engineering geology helps assure that geological factors are recognized, correctly interpreted, and presented for use in engineering practice when planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining engineering works, and when developing groundwater resources. Their topics include fuzzy rock mass rating: soft-computing-aided preliminary stability analysis of weak rock slopes, geophysical surveys in engineering geology investigations with field examples, determining the cyclic properties of silty sands, using groundwater flow modeling to investigate land subsistence in the Konya Closed Basin in Turkey, and integrating urban planning and natural hazards for a resilient city.
