Book B organization and components

Principles

In their tentative to appreciate the environment of a projected infrastructure, geotechnical engineers pay attention to several aspects:

• Geology,
• HydroGeology,
• Geotechnics,
• Surrounding constructions,
• Geohazards,
• Environmental impact (polluted site).

Models are built in order to reflect an understanding of this environment.

Each book B ends with a register of uncertainties: what we know, what we do not know.

Concepts list

The Book B is organized in Geomodel which themselves are composents of different Features based on their thematic:
