The detailed syllabus for Engineering Geology B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) second year second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. II Year II Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code: CV404ES 4/1/0/4
Course Objectives: The objectives was course is to give the basics knowledge of Geology that is required for constructing various Civil Engineering Structures, basic Geology, Geological Hazardous and Environmental Geology which gives a complete picture on the Geological aspects that are to be considered for the planning and construction of major Civil Engineering projects
Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Understand weathering process and mass movement
- Distinguish geological formations
- Identify geological structures and processes for rock mass quality
- Identify subsurface information and groundwater potential sites through geophysical investigations
- Apply geological principles for mitigation of natural hazards and select sites for dams and tunnels
UNIT – I Introduction: Importance of geology from Civil Engineering point of view. Brief study of
case histories of failure of some Civil Engineering constructions due to geological draw backs. Importance of Physical geology, Petrology and Structural geology. Weathering of Rocks : Its effect over the properties of rocks importance of weathering with reference to dams, reservoirs and tunnels weathering of common rock like “Granite”
UNIT – II Mineralogy: Definition of mineral, Importance of study of minerals, Different methods of
study of minerals. Advantages of study of minerals by physical properties. Role of study of physical properties of minerals in the identification of minerals. Study of physical properties of following common rock forming minerals: Feldsper, Quartiz, Flint, Jasper, Olivine, Augite, Hornblende, Muscovite, Biotite, Asbestos, Chlorite, Kyanite, Garnet, Talc, Calcite. Study of other common economics minerals such as Pyrite, Hematite , Magnetite, Chrorite , Galena , Pyrolusite, Graphite, Magnesite, and Bauxite. Petrology: Definition of rock: Geological classification of rocks into igneous, Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Dykes and sills, common structures and textures of igneous.
