Question

Multiple Choice

Which option identifies why a geological engineer would be valuable to the project in the following scenario?
An architectural firm in Dubai has been hired to build a skyscraper that will be taller than any other building in the city. The firm is currently
consulting with a geological engineer.
Geological engineers can ensure that the stress of a building is sound.
Geological engineers can design equipment to properly evaluate the site.
Geological engineers can ensure that the materials chosen are the most cost-effective and environmentally sound
Geological engineers can help determine if the soil and structural stability in the building's location are satisfactory

Answer 1

Geological engineers can help determine if the soil and structural stability in the building’s location are satisfactory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whichever option this is its correct.

Answer 2

Geological engineers can help determine if the soil and structural stability in the building's location are satisfactory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geologic Engineering refers to a job which applies geology to engineering. This type of job focuses on the investigation of sites in response to soil, rock and groundwater. They help design the major structures for engineering works, thus, it is also their role to know whether the building's soil and structural stability are satisfactory. They determine how much of the structure is a safe load for the soil it is standing upon. They also test the strength of both rock and soil at different depths. This will help them know whether the location will be suitable for the skyscraper.
