Engineering Geology can be considered as one of the most modern
sciences concerning the study of rocks in general, as it combines
both mechanics: geology and science of soil, It uses both these
sciences in the field of knowledge of all properties
of rocks, and at
the same time to address the problems that we face in harnessing
and adapting the modern engineering possibilities while confronting
the problems that we face during the construction of facilities at the
same disproportionate properties and construction work, such as
injections and retaining walls and rock reinforcement to avoid
collapses ... etc.
This paper discusses the study of engineering of geological
characteristics of the loose rocks, considering as an example:
(Braddon dam) region.
