The 2014 Hans Cloos lecture: Engineering Geology—some feedback regarding the practice of a scientific and technical discipline
Abstract
This Hans Cloos lecture paper develops general reflections inspired by Ian McHarg's (1969) book, "Design with Nature" and concerning engineering geology. Three case studies are illustrated: landslides in reservoirs, gallery excavation in a shield volcano, large rockslides and rock avalanches. For these three case studies, the potential and limits of conceptual and numerical models are discussed.
