Engineering Geology: Geologic Hazard Evaluations
![](/images/engineering_img/evaluations-left-img.jpg)
Geologic hazard evaluations are incorporated into geologic studies and may also be performed as a site-specific objective. Geologic hazard evaluations range from preliminary assessments to detailed analysis of hazards and design of mitigation measures.
Geologic hazard evaluations address:
- Faulting and seismic hazards, including ground shaking, ground rupture, and liquefaction potential
- Landslide, mudflow, debris flow, and rockfall potential
- Groundwater conditions
- Potential for flooding
- Erosion potential
- Compressible peat and organic soil deposits
- Expansive soils
