ENGINEERING GEOLOGY I (CE 102): Introduction to Engineering Geology
An Introduction to Engineering Geology
This chapter, Introduction to Engineering Geology, serves as the foundation for understanding how geological principles apply to civil engineering projects. Engineering geology bridges the gap between pure geology and practical engineering applications.
In the context of Nepal, with its complex geological setting and frequent seismic activity, engineering geology becomes particularly crucial. This chapter explores the various branches of geology, defines engineering geology, and emphasizes its importance in ensuring the safety and stability of civil engineering structures.
Understanding geological formations, rock types, and earth processes is essential for proper site selection, foundation design, and mitigation of geological hazards in construction projects.
