Henkel (1982) tailed as followings for engineering geology, "Engineering geologists have to answer three questions in their practice. What is the geological structure at a site ? How has its structure been formed in the geological history? What will happen as a result of the change in the environmental factors?" All these questions are closely concerned with field geology, structural geology, Quaternary geology, neotectonics, geomorphology and earth surface processes. It is impossible to answer the three questions without accumulated knowledge of these disciplines backgrounded by painstaking field observations. Without the interdisciplinary approach any geotechnical problems can not be correctly solved. On the basis of the present writer's personal experience in engineering geology, the importance of geological science is stressed in the successful achievement of civil engineering works. Every theory in engineering geology or geotechnical engineering has two facets, philosophical background and an analytical facet. Effective use of theories in engineering geology and geotechnical engineering is essential to reasoning, discovering and predicting skillfully earth surface behavior in civil engineering. Collaboration between geologists and geotechnical engineers with common words is the key to the successful practice and future development in geotechnical engineering. The common interest in geomorphology, neotechtonics and earth surface processes may be a useful link to enable both the geological and engineering skills to be mobilized (Henkel, 1982).
