This book is a collection of peer-reviewed and presented papers from the 2024 11th International Conference on Geological and Civil Engineering. The event was held in Matsue City, Japan, March 15–17, 2024, which provided a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their latest research results and development activities in geological and civil engineering. As a result, various topics were discussed in this book, including geological engineering, geotechnical engineering, civil and structural engineering, bridge engineering, building structure and bridge engineering, building technology, cartography and geographic information system, coastal engineering, surveying and geo-informatics, surveying and photogrammetry, tunnel, subway construction, underground facilities, and urban planning. The research outcomes included in this book are useful for better understanding what issues geological and civil engineering researchers are currently concerned with and what are frontiers in research approaches and technology advancement to meet the challenges today. It also provided various hints and inspirations for young researchers and engineers to pursue excellence.

Practical Engineering Geology provides an introduction to the way projects are managed, designed and constructed, and how the engineering geologist can contribute to cost- effective and safe project achievement. The need for a holistic view of geological materials, from soil to rock, and of geological history is emphasised. Chapters address key aspects of Geology for engineering and ground modelling Site investigation and testing of geological materials Geotechnical parameters Design of slopes, tunnels, foundations, and other engineering structures Identifying hazards Avoiding unexpected ground conditions This second edition includes a new chapter on environmental issues covering hydrogeology, considerations of climate change, earthquakes, and more. All chapters have been updated, with extensively revised figures throughout and several new case studies of unexpected ground conditions. The book will support practising engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers, as well as MSc level students of engineering geology and other geotechnical subjects.
