Remote sensing for civil engineering applications Geological conditions necessary for design and construction of Dams, Reservoirs, Tunnels, and Road cuttings - Hydrogeological investigations and mining - Coastal protection structures. UNIT V APPLICATION OF GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS Geophysical methods – Seismic and electrical methods for subsurface investigations. Geological maps – attitude of beds, study of structures – folds, faults and joints – relevance to civil engineering. UNIT IV STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICAL METHODS Description, occurrence, engineering properties, distribution and uses of Granite, Dolerite, Basalt, Sandstone, Limestone, Laterite, Shale, Quartzite, Marble, Slate, Gneiss and Schist.
Physical properties of minerals – Quartz group, Feldspar group, Pyroxene - hypersthene and augite, Amphibole – hornblende, Mica – muscovite and biotite, Calcite, Gypsum and Clay minerals.Ĭlassification of rocks, distinction between Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks.
Plate tectonics – Earth quakes – Seismic zones in India. Geology in civil engineering – branches of geology – structure of earth and its composition weathering of rocks – scale of weathering – soils - landforms and processes associated with river, wind, groundwater and sea – relevance to civil engineering.
