Keywords: engineering geological environment talent opportunities
Generally speaking, engineering geology is a science to investigate, study and solve geological problems related to human activities and various engineering buildings. The main contents of engineering geology research include: determining the composition, microstructure, physical, chemical and mechanical properties (especially strength and strain) of geotechnical engineering and its influence on the stability of building engineering, classifying geotechnical engineering geology, and putting forward methods to improve the performance of geotechnical engineering buildings; Study the balance of natural environment destroyed by human engineering activities, and the harm of natural physical and geological processes such as collapse, landslide, debris flow and earthquake to engineering buildings and their prediction, evaluation and prevention measures; Study and solve the foundation stability in various engineering buildings such as slopes, subgrade, dam foundation, piers and caves, as well as the collapse of loess and the destruction of rock cracks, and formulate a set of scientific investigation procedures, methods and means to directly provide geological basis for the design and construction of various projects; Study the movement law of groundwater in construction site and its influence on engineering buildings, and formulate necessary utilization and protection schemes; Study the characteristics of regional engineering geological conditions, predict the changes caused by human engineering activities, evaluate regional stability, and carry out engineering geological zoning and mapping. With the development of large-scale engineering construction, its research field is expanding day by day. In addition to geotechnical and engineering dynamic geology, specialized engineering geology and regional engineering geology, some new sub-disciplines are gradually forming, such as mine engineering geology, marine engineering geology, urban engineering geology and environmental engineering geology, engineering seismology and so on. However, with the rapid economic development in China, there is a conflict between modernization and environment. Although there are many college students, there are few real talents. Therefore, we should seize the opportunity, meet the challenge and correctly handle the relationship between talent opportunities in engineering geological environment. In a word, engineering geology is closely related to human life.
Engineering geology is a science that studies the interaction and influence between human engineering construction activities and natural geological environment. At the beginning of the 20th century, in order to meet the needs of building various factories, dams, railways, canals and other projects, geologists began to intervene to solve engineering problems related to geology in engineering construction, and constantly carried out arduous engineering practice and pioneering theoretical exploration, and published the monograph "Engineering Geology". Engineering geology has become an independent branch of earth science and an indispensable part of engineering construction. After World War II, the world has a relatively stable peaceful environment, and the development of engineering construction is very rapid, and engineering geology has grown rapidly during this period. After more than half a century of engineering practice and theoretical exploration, engineering geology has made great progress, and its connotation and extension have taken on a new look, becoming an important branch of modern science and technology.
Engineering geology in China was basically blank before liberation, but it has made great progress and development since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The introduction of Soviet engineering geology theories and methods in the early 1950s has gone through a glorious course of our own engineering practice and theoretical innovation, and formed a characteristic discipline with China. The world-famous Jinmao Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower and Three Gorges Hydropower Station have fully accumulated rich geological work experience in various lithologic areas and under various complex geological conditions, and established a relatively complete set of rules and regulations for engineering geological investigation. Major engineering construction constantly absorbs the new achievements and high technology of mathematical science in time, which greatly enriches the content of engineering geology, effectively promotes the development of engineering geology, makes China's engineering geology reach the level of modern science and technology, and becomes one of the important members of the international engineering geology community.
However, due to the talent shortage caused by the ten-year turmoil, geologists with rich engineering practice experience have left their jobs one after another, and the survey and design institute obviously lacks geological talents. In the 1980s, the relatively neat vice presidents of geology and chief geologists at the institute level, their socio-economic status did not adapt to the engineering geology major, the limitations of working environment and working conditions, the problems of human resources development mechanism, and the impetuous motivation in job hunting all affected the growth of excellent geologists to varying degrees. High-quality and high-level engineering geological analysis results come from high-level and high-quality geologists. Some people say that geological experts can be trained in two or three years, which is really ignorance. In fact, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate a geologist who has the ability of engineering geological analysis and can solve complex problems without more than ten years of hard work, a lot of engineering practice, integration of theory with practice and the study and infiltration of related disciplines. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, which can be fully reflected in the training process of geologists. It can be said that it is far more difficult to train excellent geologists than to train doctors, researchers and professors.
Minister Wang Shucheng once emphasized in his speech: "You can't always modify the design, because if you are engaged in bidding, especially international contracts, modifying the design means being claimed." . With little or no modification of the design, higher requirements are put forward for engineering geology. The basic geological data is not allowed, so the design needs to be modified. High standards and strict requirements are both challenges and opportunities.
The progress and development of human society is actually a magnificent epic in which man and nature coordinate and influence each other. In the past, we regarded the relationship between man and nature as a struggle between heaven and earth. Practice has proved that although some small local victories have been achieved in the struggle between human beings and nature, the punishment of nature on human beings in turn is disastrous. Every industrial revolution of mankind is directly related to engineering construction and directly or indirectly related to geological environment. Since the founding of New China, China's capital construction has been one after another, and a new round of construction climax is on the rise. In this huge orchestra composed of multi-disciplinary infrastructure teams, geologists should play the role of conductor and chief performer, and even play the role of solo cadenza.
Although the discipline of engineering geology is experiencing unprecedented challenges, there are also problems and problems in engineering geology, but this is an opportunity. It is the arduous task and unshirkable responsibility of engineering geologists and geologists to seize the opportunity to meet the challenge, conform to nature, protect the environment, prevent disasters and benefit mankind.
