What is a geological engineer?

A geodetic engineer is a person who gathers physical data upon the surface of the earth using precision instruments and also process the information in a scientific and methodical manner in the forms of plans, graphs, sheets etc


Compressibility of soil- geotechnical engineering?

The compressibility of soils is a process known as consolidation. Consolidation is the geotechnical process of reducing a soils volume by reducing voids either filled with air or water. The are different forms of consolidation, however consolidation and settlement are indeed problems that a Geotechnical Engineer would address.


What is a soil test for building construction?

There are a large number of soil tests related to construction:Particle Size Distribution test - finds the relative proportions of differing grain sizes within a soilAtterberg Limit test - used to establish the plasticity class of the soilCompaction test - used to find the optimum moisture content to achieve a maximum densityConsolidation / Oedometer testing - used to establish the settlement potential of a fine grained soil.Direct Shear test - used to measure the peak (and potentially residual) shear strengths of a soil. When tested at varying confining loads can be used to find the shear strength parameters Phi' and c'*Triaxial testing - used to find the elastic properties of the soil (Young's Modulus and Poisson's Ratio) along with the shear strength. These may be either drained or undrained tests.Constant and falling head permeability tests - used to establish the hydraulic conductivity / coefficient of permeability for coarse and fine grained soils respectively.*Note in the UK c' is assumed to be zero for design purposes, in other countries small non zero c' may be used.


What is the difference between engineering soil and other soil?

Engineering soil is when ground is prepared(engineered) for an specific purpose. Soil is dirty or ground naturally found on earth.By Oscar Venegas "Ozkhar"

How natural frequency of soil is determined?

I have a partial answer. I am a structural engineer and am looking into this exact question. I have a design guide that says wn = sqrt(35400/D) where D = deflection of the soil in inches. However, i cant find anything that tells me what the 35400 means. I would use this with out figuring out what the 35400 means.


What does a MAP engineer do?

A map engineer determines the topographic map of construction site so the volume of soil that should be carried to out site or be brought from out site can be computed. Moreover, he determines borders of the building and important points in the building with the start of construction.


The Soil Scientist?

Geotechnical engineering jobs are also known as soil scientist jobs because of the description, which can be approximated as focusing on the design, analysis and construction of slopes, retaining structures, foundations, and other systems that are supported by or are actually made of rock or soil. The main purpose of the geotechnical engineer is to understand the effects of rock and soil construction and changes on the surrounding physical environment. Besides an interest in the physics of the Earth, what is required in the geotechnical engineering field is the ability to translate results into findings that other disciplines can understand, especially other civil engineers with which the geotechnical engineer may be working. A geotechnical engineer can get solid work in the mining, oil, and agricultural industries.
