    This document discusses the importance of engineering geology in civil engineering projects. It begins by defining geology and engineering geology. It then lists several ways that geology is important for civil engineering, such as providing knowledge of construction materials and their properties, and helping to plan major projects by understanding geological hazards and processes. It also discusses how engineering geology relates to other engineering fields like civil, mining, and petroleum engineering. Finally, it lists some subdisciplines of geology and their applications. In summary, the document outlines how geology informs civil engineering projects through knowledge of construction materials, geological hazards and processes, and its relationships to other engineering fields.

    ENGINEERING GEOLOGY

    SECOND SEMESTER I

    Presented by

    Daw Win Win Maw

    MRes.Geology
    Civil Dept:
    UNIT-I
    INTRODUCTION

    A Prelude:
    And just what is Geology?
    Geology; Physics, chemistry, mathematics, zoology,
    botany, construction, mining and other engineering.
    Geology «The history of the earth, its combination of
    rock, soil and water, and the science of studying
    evolution»
    Geological Engineering: Provides the use of
    geological data for practical engineering purposes.
    Engineering Geology I

    Definition:-
     The science which deals with the physical structure and
    substance of the earth, their history, and the processes which
    acton them.
     The geological features of a district.
     The geological features of a planetary body
    • The importance of geology in civil engineering may briefly as
    follows:
    • Geology provides a systematic knowledge of construction
    material, its occurrence, composition, durability and other
    properties. Example of such construction material is building
    stones, road metal, clay, lime stones and laetrile.
     The knowledge of the geological work of natural agencies
    such as water, wind, ice and earthquakes helps in
    planning and carrying out major civil engineering works.
    For example the knowledge of erosion, transportation and
    deposition helps greatly in solving the expensive
    problems of river control, coastal and soil conservation.
    Engineering geology and Civil Engineering

    The importance of engineering Geology in civil engineering projects are as


    follows:
    1. Systematic knowledge about the source of rocks, soil and sediment for its use as
    construction material.
    2. Geological conditions evaluation for construction of dams, tunnels, bridges,
    railways, highways, pipeline and multistoried buildings.
    3. Complete knowledge about the exploration of surface and underground water
    resources, assessment of quality of groundwater and groundwater basin
    management.
    4. The evaluation of geological hazards such as landslides, earthquake and
    volcanoes.
    5. Interpretation of geological maps, topographic maps, hydrologic maps and their
    sections which are needed for planning engineering projects.
    6. The knowledge of surface water, erosion, transportation and deposition of
    sediment/soil by the action of river and soil conservation.
    7. Preliminary geological survey of the area before carrying out engineering
    projects.
    The relationship between Geological
    Engineering and other engineering sciences
     CivilEngineering (safe and economical
    construction of buildings)
     Mining Engineering (safety and economical
    fact or sin mining deposition operating and
    development)
     PetroleumEngineering(Economic design for
    extracting petroleum and obtaining petroleum
    products)
     Geophysical Engineering (earth physical
    properties and its engineering applications)
     Architecture (project designing)
     City and Regional Planners
     General geology  Oredeposits -Geochemistry
     Structural geology  Mineral deposits
     Sedimantology-  Geochemistry
    Sedimentarypetrography PetroleumGeology
     Stratigraphy  AppliedGeology
     Mineralogy-Petrography Engineering Geology
     Mineralogy  Hydrogeology
     Petrography  Mathematical Geology
