Course Objectives<\/strong>: The objectives was course is to give the basics knowledge of Geology\u00a0that is required for constructing various Civil Engineering Structures, basic Geology,\u00a0Geological Hazardous and Environmental Geology which gives a complete picture on the\u00a0Geological aspects that are to be considered for the planning and construction of major Civil\u00a0Engineering projects<\/p>\n Course Outcomes<\/strong>: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:<\/p>\n UNIT – I\u00a0Introduction:<\/strong> Importance of geology from Civil Engineering point of view. Brief study of UNIT – II\u00a0Mineralogy:<\/strong> Definition of mineral, Importance of study of minerals, Different methods of UNIT – III\u00a0Structural Geology:<\/strong> Out crop, strike and dip study of common geological structures\n
\ncase histories of failure of some Civil Engineering constructions due to geological draw\u00a0backs. Importance of Physical geology, Petrology and Structural geology.\u00a0Weathering of Rocks : Its effect over the properties of rocks importance of weathering with\u00a0reference to dams, reservoirs and tunnels weathering of common rock like \u201cGranite\u201d<\/p>\n
\nstudy of minerals. Advantages of study of minerals by physical properties. Role of study of\u00a0physical properties of minerals in the identification of minerals. Study of physical properties\u00a0of following common rock forming minerals: Feldsper, Quartiz, Flint, Jasper, Olivine,\u00a0Augite, Hornblende, Muscovite, Biotite, Asbestos, Chlorite, Kyanite, Garnet, Talc, Calcite.\u00a0Study of other common economics minerals such as Pyrite, Hematite , Magnetite, Chrorite ,\u00a0Galena , Pyrolusite, Graphite, Magnesite, and Bauxite.\u00a0Petrology: Definition of rock: Geological classification of rocks into igneous, Sedimentary\u00a0and metamorphic rocks. Dykes and sills, common structures and textures of igneous.\u00a0Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
