کاربرد زمین شناسی مهندسی در توسعه شهری

The urgent need for safe housing sites in present- day has forced the professional bodies in the engineering geological and geotechnical fields to set standards for site investigations for urban expansion.This article endeavour to provide a defined method for urban development with engineering geology.

The investigations for urban development can be divided into three different categories, namely: investigations for planning , investigations for urban development and specialized geotechnical investigations. This paper has indicated the range of application , the scope and the methodology to be used for the different investigations and explain case and importance of engineering geological investigations in urban development.
