COURSE OBJECTIVE
To study geological science and apply the same in the field of civil engineering. The course begins with history of earth’s formation. It moves on to the different types of soil found on earth and finally describes the various applications of geological science in civil engineering. Also to make the students familiar with remote sensing and geographical information system.
Syllabus
UNIT 1:
Introduction and Physical Geology- Objects and scope of geology. The crust and the interior of the earth,
origin and age of the earth, sub-aerial land, sub-terrain weathering, denudation and deposition, wind, river,
glacial and marine erosion, volcanoes, soil, formation of soil profile ,geological classification of soil and
concept of earthquake, Plate- tectonics.
UNIT 2:
Mineralogy and Crystallography- Fundamentals of mineralogy, study of common rock forming minerals,
ores and minerals of economic importance to civil engineering. elements of crystallography and
introduction to crystal systems.
UNIT 3:
Petrology: Composition of earth’s crust, study of igneous, sedimentary and
Metamorphic rocks and their formation, characteristics classification, Rocks of civil engineering
importance.
Geology of India: Physical features of India, Brief geological history of India, occurrence of important ores
and minerals in India.
UNIT 4:
Structural Geology: Structures related to rocks, Dip, Strike and outcrops, Classification and detailed studies
of geological structures i.e. folds, Faults, Joints, Unconformity and their importance in Civil Engineering.
UNIT 5:
Applied Geology: Introduction to applied geology and its use in civil engineering, properties of rocks,
selection of sites for roads, bridges, dams, reservoirs and tunnels. Prevention of Engineering structures from
seismic shocks, stability of hill sides, water bearing strata, artesian wells, Use of remote-sensing techniques
in selection of above sites.
