Question

What are the historical failures of civil engineers in geology

Answer 1

Answer:

Engineering geology is the application of the geology to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities.

Engineering geology studies may be performed during the planning, environmental impact analysis, civil or structural engineering design, value engineering and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and forensic phases of projects. Works completed by engineering geologists include; geological hazard assessments, geotechnical, material properties, landslide and slope stability, erosion, flooding, dewatering, and seismic investigations, etc. Engineering geology studies are performed by a geologist or engineering geologist that is educated, trained and has obtained experience related to the recognition and interpretation of natural processes, the understanding of how these processes impact human made structures (and vice versa), and knowledge of methods by which to mitigate against hazards resulting from adverse natural or human made conditions. The principal objective of the engineering geologist is the protection of life and property against damage caused by various geological conditions.

The practice of engineering geology is also very closely related to the practice of geological engineering and geotechnical engineering. If there is a difference in the content of the disciplines, it mainly lies in the training or experience of the practitione

Answer 2

The historical failures of civil engineers in geology:

• The historical failures of civil engineering are The St. Francis Dam Flooding, The "Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse", The Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse, Quebec Bridge, "Ronan point apartment tower".  

• Many of the civil engineering failure taught us new things that we considered to be sure that they never repeat again.
• The St. Francis Dam flooding increased realization of the "geological factors" in the field of civil engineering that came to light from the "failure of the dam’s foundation".
• The Tacoma narrows bridge collapse taught us to consider wind forces on structure.
