A thorough knowledge of geology is essential in the design and construction of infrastructures for transport, buildings and mining operations; while an understanding of geology is also crucial for those working in urban, territorial and environmental planning and in the prevention and mitigation of geohazards.

Geological Engineering provides an interpretation of the geological setting, integrating geological conditions into engineering design and construction, and provides engineering solutions that take into account both ground conditions and environment.

This textbook, extensively illustrated with working examples and a wealth of graphics, covers the subject area of geological engineering in four sections: Fundamentals: soil mechanics, rock mechanics and hydrogeology. + Methods: site investigations, rock mass characterization and engineering geological mapping. + Applications: foundations, slope stability, tunnelling, dams and reservoirs and earth works. + Geohazards: landslides, other mass movements, earthquake hazards and prevention and mitigation of geological hazards.

As well as being a textbook for graduate and postgraduate students and academics, Geological Engineering serves as a basic reference for practicing engineering geologists and geological and geotechnical engineers, as well as civil and mining engineers dealing with design and construction of foundations, earth works and excavations for infrastructures, buildings, and mining operations.

Neural networks were developed to simulate the human nervous system for Machine Learning tasks by treating the computational units in a learning model in a manner similar to human neurons. The grand vision of neural networks is to create artificial intelligence by building machines whose architecture simulates the computations in the human nervous system. Although the biological model of neural networks is an exciting one and evokes comparisons with science fiction, neural networks have a much simpler and mundane mathematical basis than a complex biological system. The neural network abstraction can be viewed as a modular approach of enabling learning algorithms that are based on continuous optimization on a computational graph of mathematical dependencies between the input and output. These ideas are strikingly similar to classical optimization methods in control theory, which historically preceded the development of neural network algorithms.
