Yer Kabuğunun İçinde/Üstünde Güvenli Yapılar, Eurocode 7 ve Mühendislik

Abstract

While engineering has recently been presented in medias by computers and laboratory outfits, responsibilities of ground engineers who perform works in/on earth crust have not been changed at all. They have to supply stable spaces and structures for urban life in/on earth as they have been always required. Engineers dealing with earth for its properties, features, stabilities for different civil work circumstances like; dam, bridge, tunnel, mine gallery & stopes, pits, foundations of buildings etc. have their tough decisions under various uncertainties. They have recently been categorised as ground engineers including, soil and rock engineers, geotechnics, geomechanics, geologist, civil and mining engineers etc. subjects. Some European countries have gradually provided specifications to define ground engineering under EUR-ING qualifications. Engineers who have been controlling product qualities, organising works for employees, testing in laboratories have their work places which have not been changed regularly, as it is the case for ground engineers. Rock engineering, (concepts based mainly on rock mechanics in geology, mining and civil engineering) contributions to ground engineering have been worked here under Eurocode 7 applications and evaluations performed by engineers.
