Conceptual Engineering Geological Models
Original language description
Engineering geological models should form a fundamentalcomponent of any geotechnical project as they providea systematic methodology to support all of the engineeringgeological thought processes that must be workedthrough for successful project completion. The use ofmodels as an approach to solving engineering geologicalproblems, with the inherent requirement for predictionand verification, is also ideally suited to training andeducation. IAEG Commission C25 (Parry et al. in BullEng Geol Environ 73:689–706, 2014) proposed thatengineering geological models could be divided into twoprofoundly different approaches and therefore differentmodel types. Observational and Conceptual. However,the C25 Report perhaps lacks clarity regarding thedifferences between these two types of models and theway in which they work together. The conceptualapproach is based on understanding the relationshipsbetween engineering geological units, their likely geometry,and anticipated distribution. This approach, and themodels formed, are based on concepts formulated fromknowledge and experience. When these models areproficiently developed they provide an extremely powerfultool for appreciating and communicating what isknown about a site, what is conjectured and wheresignificant uncertainties may remain. The conceptualmodel provides a framework for the evaluation ofobservational data which then forms an observationalmodel which is constrained by real data in 3D space andtime. The development of conceptual models should be acore activity for engineering geologists. The paperdiscusses the generation of conceptual models, givesexamples of the problems that can arise when they are notused, and provides guidelines for their development.
