This document provides an introduction to the syllabus for a course on engineering geology at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia for the 2018-2019 academic year. The syllabus covers topics like the introduction to engineering geology, minerals and rocks, geological exploration of engineering sites, and how geology relates to civil engineering projects. The objectives are to introduce basic geology concepts to civil engineering students and inspire critical thinking about solving engineering problems with geological knowledge. By completing the course, students will understand geology concepts and terminology, geological processes, rock and mineral identification, and relationships between geology, the environment, and engineering structures. References are provided and the course will be evaluated based on attendance, assignments, and a final exam.

In civil engineering: geology provides necessary information
about the site of construction phase of an engineering project. The relationship between Geological Engineering and other engineering sciences

Geology & Civil Engineering
In all types of heavy construction jobs such as building, towers,
tanks, dams and reservoir, highway bridges and hydropower tunnels…full geological information about the site of construction (or excavation) and about the natural materials of construction is paramount important. Geology & Civil Engineering

Slope protection Why should study geology? Geology plays a very important role in the field of civil engineering: Planning - Topographic map - Hydrological map - Geological map Designing - Presence hard rock, their depth, and inclination with surface - Mechanical properties of rock - Presence of structural weakness - Position of ground water and seismic nature of the area Construction Planning Following geological information is greatly useful in planning an engineering project Topographical maps give details of relief features and are essential to understand relative merit and demerit of all the possible sites. Hydrological maps give broad details about the distribution and geometry of surface water channels and also the occurrence and depth contour of groundwater Geological maps give petrological characters and structural disposition of rock types. Planning
Topographical maps Planning
Hydrological maps Geological maps
Design Some of the geological characters that have a direct or indirect bearing upon the design of a proposed project are: - The existence of hard bed rocks and their depth from and inclination - The mechanical properties along and across the site of the proposed project - Presence, nature and distribution pattern of planes of structural weakness - The position of groundwater table in totality - Seismic character of the area as deciphered from seismic history and prediction about seismicity Design Design Construction The engineer responsible for quality control of construction materials will derive enormous benefit from his/her geological background of the nature materials such as sand, gravel, crushed rocks. Similarity for construction in geologically sensitive areas as those of costal belts, seismic zones and permafrost regions, knowledge of geological history of the area is of great important Construction of underground projects like tunnels cannot at all be undertaken without a knowledge of the geological characters and setting of rocks and their relevance to the loads imposed.
