| Abstract: | The engineering-geological environment, as any other geological environment, can be described by a number of variables. A clustering of those variables or clustering of their quantities makes it possible to divide the environment into taxonomic types. It is also possible to determine factors which are functions of those variables and which characterize the environment or its parts. In this paper we have applied R-and Q-mode factor analysis to engineering-geological research, concentrating our attention on establishing criteria for subdividing an environment into various aspects by its engineering-geological characteristics. |
