Abstract
Engineering geology deals with the application of geology to civil engineering and construction works. The fundamental input in engineering geology would involve, among other things, studies on the lithologies, geologic structures and weathering grades of the rock masses since together they determine the characteristics and behaviours of the rock masses. In addition, project-specific requirements and problems need to be addressed. This paper presents several case studies on Engineering Geology in Malaysia such as: Foundations in Limestone Bedrock, Limestone Cliff Stability, Rock Slope Stability, Dams, Tunnels, Riverbank Instability, Slope Failure due to Rapid Draw-down, Urban Geology & Hillsite Development, and Airports. The various case studies presented here are based mainly on the author’s ~35 years of past practice and experiences.
