This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the preservation of cultural heritage. In 1972, the World Heritage Convention linked in a single framework the concepts of nature conservation and the preservation of cultural sites. Since then, engineering geology is enlarging its contributions to national and international projects on this topic and is extending its interests to key issues like: safeguarding of monuments and sites from geotechnical perspectives; advanced monitoring; investigations on cultural landscapes; development of geo-databases for cultural heritage classification; studies on the interactions between humankind, natural landscape evolution and cultural heritage; analysis of weathering and deterioration of rock properties of monuments; risk analysis of sites affected by natural hazards and many others. With the contributions in this book, engineering geologists, conservation scientists and further experts from other natural, social and economic sciences, as well as representatives of international organizations and national and local administrative authorities exchange their ideas and practices on culture heritage preservation by presenting both local case studies and multidisciplinary international projects. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: Environment, processes, issues and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: Climate Change and Engineering Geology. Landslide Processes. River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources. Marine and Coastal Processes. Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation. Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects. Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology. Preservation of Cultural Heritage.

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes and deals with education and the professional ethics, which scientists, regulators and practitioners of engineering geology inevitably have to face through the purposes, methods, limitations and findings of their works. This volume presents contributions on the professional responsibilities of engineering geologists; the interaction of engineering geologists with other professionals; recognition of the engineering geological profession and its particular contribution to society, culture, and economy and implications for the education of engineering geologists at tertiary level and in further education schemes. Issues treated in this volume are: the position of engineering geology within the geo-engineering profession; professional ethics and communication; resource use and re-use; managing risk in a litigious world; engineering and geological responsibility and engineering geology at tertiary level.

Publication of volumes 4 and 5 from the June 1997 conference were significantly delayed (the first three volumes were published in 1997). Volume 5 contains general reports and post-symposium proceedings, including late contributions on engineering geology and geomorphological processes, natural and man-made hazards, urban and regional planning, and protections of geological, geographical, historical, and architectural heritage. Also includedd: a report stemming from a field trip to the Sterea Hellas and Corinth Canal, on the geological and geotechnical conditions of those areas; and the opening and closing speeches. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of applied geology, which is a critical theme for the global economy. In the international, multidisciplinary approach to major engineering projects (either to macro- or mega-scale), the application of geological investigation techniques is fundamental for properly selecting the location sites, planning the construction and maintaining the infrastructures. The contributions in this book include not only engineering constructions but also case studies related to large projects on geo-resources exploration and extraction (minerals, petroleum and groundwater), energy production (hydropower, geothermal, nuclear and others), transportation (railway and highway) and waste disposal as well as the environmental management of these and other activities. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: Environment, processes, issues, and approaches.

River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources 4. Marine and Coastal Processes 5. Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation 6.

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of urban geology. Along with a rapidly growing world population, the wave of urban growth continues, causing cities to swell and new metropolitan centers to emerge. These global trends also open new ventures for underground city development. Engineering geology plays a major role in facing the increasing issues of the urban environment, such as: finding aggregates for construction works; providing adequate water supply and waste management; solving building problems associated to geological and geomorphological conditions; evaluating host rock conditions for underground constructions; preventing or mitigating geological and seismic hazards. Furthermore, this book illustrates recent advancements in sustainable land use planning, which includes conservation, protection, reclamation and landscape impact of open pit mining and alternative power generation.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. BUILDING SITES. The bearing of geology upon the important problems of the causes by which health and disease are influenced is briefly referred to in page 52; and the discovery of those causes, with the means of their extension or amelioration, forms the basis of many engineering designs and operations. Sanitary engineering is a modern profession, evolved from the study of such causes, almost during the present generation, and many of the larger works of the present day are designed with reference, not merely to the necessities, but, also, to the health of the community. Such are schemes for the effectual drainage of large towns, the disposal of sewage, and the supply of pure water in quantity sufficient for the requirements of the population. These must all be determined more or less by the physical and geological features of the districts where the works are required. The methods employed in the surveying and proper interpretation of the phenomena presented in the geology of a country have been described in the preceding pages; a few remarks and suggestions follow upon those which are of a purely physical nature, or rather, those which, varying as the geology, may nevertheless be described as surface configuration. A most important matter, and one which merits more attention than it usually receives is the selection of sites for Public Buildings and for private Eesidences. On small estates there may not be much choice of situation, but it rarely happens that the limits are so narrow, or the spot so arbitrarily marked out, that nothing can be said on the matter. And even if the exact locality be determined by necessity, or by convenience, there still remains for discussion the questions of aspect, shelter, scenery, and so...
