The Soltan Dam on the river Soltan, a branch of Tine River, is located about 19 km of Mateur city in the northeast of Tunisia. The dam is now under Study and will be constructed in 2017. The Soltan Dam has been designed as an earth fill dam with homogeneous materials. The dam and its associated concrete structures are mainly founded on marl, shale and shale of Lower Miocene age, sandstone of th...

The modern philosophy of the science of geology is based on the theory that “the present is the key to the past.” That is to say, the processes operating to modify the crust of the earth today have operated in much the same manner for countless ages. Thus by observing these processes and their incremental results, we may reconstruct the earth’s history from similar but accumulated results. Thes...

Probabilistic and soft computing methods are increasingly adopted in various fields of engineering geology. In the past decades, extensive original and innovative studies of various engineering geology problems have been conducted using probabilistic and soft computing methods, and substantial new theories, methods, insights, experiences, and data have been attained. This special issue is aimed...
