The difference between hydrogeology and engineering geology

I. Different concepts

1. Hydrogeology: a sub-discipline of geology, referring to the phenomena of various changes and movements of groundwater in nature.

2, engineering geology: is an application of the principles of geology for engineering applications

2, different research content

1, hydrogeology: hydrogeology is the study of groundwater science. It mainly studies the distribution and formation of groundwater, the physical properties and chemical composition of groundwater, groundwater resources and their rational use, the adverse effects of groundwater on engineering construction and mining and its prevention and control.

2, engineering geology: the main research involves geological hazards, rocks and quaternary sediments, rock stability, earthquakes and so on. Engineering geology is widely used in various stages of engineering planning, investigation, design, construction and maintenance.

Three, the purpose of different

1, hydrogeology: is for the study of groundwater activities related to geotechnical engineering problems and adverse geologic phenomena to provide information. For example, the construction of buildings and structures, should study the permeability of geotechnical, groundwater depth and corrosive, in order to determine the depth of the foundation masonry and pit excavation and other impacts.

2, engineering geology: in order to identify the geological conditions of various types of engineering sites, the site and its related geological problems for a comprehensive evaluation, analysis and prediction of the role of engineering and construction, the possible changes in geological conditions and the role of the selection of the optimal site, and put forward to solve the adverse geologic problems of the engineering measures to ensure that the project is reasonably designed, smooth construction and normal use of the project provides a reliable scientific basis. Scientific basis.
