摘要
國際工程地質與環境協會(IAEG)在2019年制訂了「專案計畫工程地質模型之建構與應用指引」,其目的是根據工程的實際應用,提供簡潔、實用、易於理解和具專業水準之運用工程地質模型(EGM)的建議。EGM 是一個綜合、完整的認知框架,此框架是用來針對可能影響工程計畫及其工程特性的地質、地形和水文地質狀況等等條件,進行邏輯評估和解析。它代表對專案計畫中地質條件的理解,為整合工程地質知識提供框架,協助工程決策及評估潛在的大地工程風險。換句話說,建立EGM可以讓有經驗的專業人員預測專案計畫現場可能存在的情況、評估地下情況可能如何對專案計畫造成的不利影響。EGM包含建立假設模型(概念成分)及現場調查與監測(觀測成分)兩個要素,然而受限於地質的複雜變異性以及專案執行的種種考量,不論是在概念成分或是觀測成分,均會有相當程度的地質與地工不確定性,這些不確定性均會影響到工程專案所建立的EGM可靠度。地質模型是建立EGM的重要基礎,IAEG此份指引提供了一個建立EGM建議的作業流程,可以將建立地質模型的流程更明確化、減少建立地質模型的不確定性,並針對EGM進行適當的可靠度評估與審查,從而提升EGM的可靠度,降低工程專案風險。
英文摘要
In 2019, the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) established the ' Guidelines for the development and application of engineering geological models on projects,' aimed at providing concise, practical, easy-to-understand, and professionally sound recommendations for the use of Engineering Geological Model (EGM) based on engineering applications. EGM is a comprehensive cognitive framework used for logical assessment and analysis of geological, topographical, and hydrogeological conditions that may impact engineering projects and their engineering characteristics. It represents the understanding of geological conditions in a project and provides a framework for integrating engineering geological knowledge to assist in engineering decision-making and assessing potential geotechnical risks. EGM allows experienced professionals to predict potential site conditions for a project and evaluate how subsurface conditions might adversely affect the project. EGM consists of two components: the conceptual component, which includes building hypothesis models, and the observational component, which involves field investigations and monitoring. However, due to the complex variability in geology and various project considerations, both the conceptual and observational components exhibit a considerable degree of geological and geotechnical uncertainty. These uncertainties can affect the reliability of the EGM established for engineering projects. Geological Model is a fundamental basis for constructing an EGM. The guideline provided by IAEG offer an operational workflow for building EGM, making the process of constructing geological models clearer, reducing uncertainties associated with geological modeling, and allowing for appropriate reliability assessment and review of EGM to enhance their reliability and reduce engineering project risks.
