The phrase "a ground for engineering" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to a basis or justification for engineering practices or decisions.
Example: "The research provided a solid ground for engineering the new sustainable materials."
Alternatives: "a basis for engineering" or "a foundation for engineering".
It promised to be both fun and an excellent proving ground for his engineering chops.
This article presents an integrated approach for simulating the strong ground motions for engineering purpose using the 3D-FD method.
The Sun also reports that despite air, water and ground searches for engineering junior Matthew Zika, who jumped from a suspension bridge into Fall Creek gorge on Friday, his body has yet to be found.
1/10/2011: Jack Baker presented at the SCEC Ground Motion Simulation Validation Workshop at the University of Southern California, on techniques to validate simulated ground motions for engineering use.
Strong-motion seismographs, called accelerographs, are designed particularly to register intense movements of the ground, mainly for engineering purposes i.e., antiseismic construction in earthquake-prone areas such as Japan.
Meanwhile, Krinitzsky [Eng. Geol. 65 (2002) 1] provides procedures to obtain earthquake ground motions for engineering design that combine DSHA and PSHA according to the above criteria.
However, the recipe may not be valid for megathrust earthquakes with magnitudes 8 and larger because the characterized source model lacks heterogeneity smaller than asperities, which may not be negligible in simulating ground motion for engineering purposes.
The frozen-ground conditions for engineering geology along the Corridor is complicated by the variability in the near-surface lithology, and the mosaic presence of warm permafrost and talik in a periglacial environment.
The baffling hoax has stunned Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, the top-ranked magnet program known as an intellectual proving ground for science wunderkinder, technology gurus, engineering buffs and math wizards — many of whom earn their way to the nation's most prestigious colleges.
