Logical and Graphic Models of the Structure and Contents of the General Theory of Engineering Geology and its Disciplines

详细

The existing ideas about the structure of engineering geology are considered, its modern assessment is given taking account of an emerging discipline, that is, space engineering geology. It is shown that the theoretical basis of engineering geology collected to date allows us to proceed to the creation of a general theory of this science as a system (logical combination) of its own basis of concepts, patterns, and laws, basic and auxiliary theories representing a unified teaching of engineering geology, which possesses descriptive, explanatory, heuristic and predictive functions. Logical and graphical models of the content of the general theory of engineering geology and its disciplines are proposed, which can serve as the basis for their subsequent development.
