Knowledge in Rocks as Construction materials

Engg. Geology -P2 (Rocks as construction Materials)

This is the second part of Engg. Geology, which deals with mainly rocks as construction materials. Engineering geology is the application of the geology to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities.
