Summary

The author discusses the development and present state of the engineering geology. He warns the engineering geologists against a merely mechanical approach and emphasizes that an engineer needs to understand geology as well.

Further an analysis of the relation between geology and civil engineering and between engineering geology and soil and rock mechanics is presented.

Finally the paper deals with the tasks of engineering geology at designing and construction of structures as well as with the problems of education in engineering geology.

Résumé

L’auteur examine la question du développement et de la situation acutelle de la géologie de l’ingénieur. II préviend d’un accès simplement méchanical en accentuant, qu’il est vraiement nécéssaire pour un ingénieur de comprendre aussi la géologie. Puis, l’auteur analyse la rélation entre la géologie et la construction ainsi qu’entre la géologie de l’ingénieur et la mécanique du sol. Enfin, le travail traits les tâches de la géologie de l’ingénieur dans la sphère des projets et de la réalisation des constructions ainsi que les problèmes de l’éducation.
