Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:

• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;

• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;

• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;

• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;

• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.

根据 IAEG 章程，工程地质学被定义为一门科学，致力于调查、研究和解决由于地质学与人类工作或活动相互作用而可能产生的工程和环境问题，以及预测和制定预防或补救地质灾害的措施。工程地质学包括：

• 地质构造的地貌、结构地质和水文地质条件的应用/含义；

• 描述与建筑、资源回收和环境变化有关的所有地球材料的矿物学、物理地质力学、化学和水力特性；

• 评估土壤和岩体的力学和水文行为；

• 预测上述特性随时间的变化；

• 确定工程和土体稳定性分析中要考虑的参数。
