VARIOUS COMPONENT OF ROAD
The value of geology in Mining has long been known but its use in Civil Engineering has been recognized SURFACE
only in comparatively recent years. The importance of geology in civil engineering may briefly be outlines
as follows, COMPONENTS OF ROAD
Geology provides a systematic knowledge of construction material, its occurrence, composition, CAMBER
durability and other properties. Example of such construction materials is building stones, road metal,
clay, limestones and laterite. CURVES
The knowledge of the geological work of natural agencies such as water, wind, ice and earthquakes CAUSES OF FAILURE OF CONCRETE
helps in planning and carrying out major civil engineering works. For example the knowledge of
erosion, transportation and deposition helps greatly in solving the expensive problems of river control, ROADS
coastal and harbour work and soil conservation. MUD PUMPING
Ground water is the water which occurs in the subsurface rocks. The knowledge about its quantity and
depth of occurrence is required in connection with water supply, irrigation, excavation and many other SIGHT DISTANCE
civil engineering works.
MAINTENANCE OF BITUMINOUS
The foundation problems of dams, bridges and buildings are directly concerned with the geology of the
area where they are to be built. In these works drilling is commonly undertaken to explore the ground ROADS
conditions. Geology helps greatly in interpreting the drilling data.
REASONS FOR LAYING A RAILWAY
In tunneling, constructing roads, canals, docks and in determining the stability of cuts and slopes, the LINE
knowledge about the nature and structure of rocks is very necessary.
Before staring a major engineering project at a place, a detailed geological report which is INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGY
accompanied by geological maps and sections, is prepared. Such a report helps in planning and
constructing the projects. IMPORTANCE OF GEOLOGY IN CIVIL

The stability of civil engineering structure is considerably increased if the geological feature like faults,
joints, bedding planes, folding solution channels etc in the rock beds are properly located and suitably TYPES OF ROCKS
treated.
In the study of soil mechanics, it is necessary to know how the soil materials are formed in nature. VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
The cost of engineering works will considerably reduced of the geological survey of the area concerned INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE
