Summary

The paper deals with the main principles of procedure for the national engineering geological survey in the USSR carried out at scales of 1: 100 000 to 1: 500 000. The objective and tasks of the engineering geological mapping and requirements for the content of an engineering geological map are presented. The methodological bases of the engineering geological mapping which are discussed are based on formation analysis and the concept of natural complexes. A list of field methods applied to the engineering geological survey and the general principles of procedure for survey works widely employing a method of key areas and main routes are given in the paper.

Résumé

L'article traite des grands principes d'une méthodologie applicable au levé d'une carte géotechnique nationale de l'U.R.S.S. à des échelles de 1: 100 000 à 1: 500 000. Il présente les objectifs et les buts de la cartographie géotechnique et précise quel doit être le contenu minimal d'une carte géotechnique. Il discute les bases méthodologiques de la cartographie géotechnique; elles reposent sur l'analyse des formations et sur le concept de complexes naturels. Il donne une liste des méthodes de terrain appliquées au levé géotechnique et les principes généraux d'une méthodologie des travaux de levé de carte comprenant essentiellement une méthode d'aires-clefs et de grands itinéraires.
