Abstract

 The authors, first, reviewed past 50-year history of regional developments and artificially-changed natures in Tokyo Bay area. Then, they showed how engineering geology contributed to those artificial changes. They also showed how to create the logical system of engineering geology based on the basic earth-science and geotechnical theories and knowledge. The discussed case studies include; conversion of the logics for making geotechnical maps from ground surface maps; methodology for obtaining geotechnical properties by using natural analog theory; assigning geotechnical properties to geological strata and logical extension for degradation of geotechnical properties.<br> Based on the 50 years experiences, it is important that engineering geology should be developed by establishing logical extension of three basic logics (natural phenomenology, geotechnical properties theory, methodology) and their overlapping fields. In particular, it is important to extend logics and methods of sequence stratigraphy or natural analog and assigning geotechnical properties to geological strata. In other words, assigning geotechnical properties should be done on the basis of the natural ground properties obtained by wide and long-term observations. In order to sophisticate the prediction methods of natural responses due to artificial changes, it may be required to develop some advanced tools for observing natural phenomena widely and simultaneously.
