    ROLE OF EG IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
     Engineering geology is a very important topic for structural engineers to understand as it
    helps them properly plan a project when considering the design, location, and other
    important geological factors. Engineering geology helps ensure a safe and cost-effective
    design for construction projects
     SAFETY
     ECONOMY

    UNIT -1 (INTRODUCTION)
    PHYSICAL GEOLOGY
     Physical Geology is a comprehensive introductory text on the physical aspects of
    geology, including rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes,
    glaciation, groundwater, streams, coasts, mass wasting, climate change, planetary
    geology and much more.
    MINEROLOGY
     Mineralogy is the study of the chemistry, crystal structure and physical properties of
    the mineral constituents of rocks.
     IN Simple words “Minerology” is nothing but the study of minerals
     The study of minerology will gives you some indication about the formation of the
    earths surface and how the earth was formed.
     The study of chemical properties of the minerals will gives scientists some idea about
    how we can use these minerals for our advantage and research
    Study of minerals

    Know about the earths surface

    Study its composition

    Make use of it for research


    and for our advantage
    PETROLOGY
     Petrology is the branch of geology that studies rocks and the conditions under which
    they form.

    PETROLOGY

    IGNEOUS SEDIMENTARY METAMORPHIC


    STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY
     Structural geology, scientific discipline that is concerned with rock deformation
    on both a large and a small scale. Its scope of study is vast, ranging from
    submicroscopic lattice defects in crystals to fault structures and fold systems of
    the Earth's crust.
    WEATHERING OF ROCKS
    1.What is weathering ?
    2.Types of weathering ?
    3.What is lithification ?
    INTRODUCTION TO WEATHERING
    EARTH IS CONSISTING OF ROCKS

    ROCKS CONSISTING OF MINERALS

    OUR EARTH IS CHANGING

    ROCKS ARE GETTING CHANGES


     The process of disintegration of rock is itself known as
    weathering
    Factor controlling weathering
     Composition of rock
     Ground slope of that particular area
     Climatic variations
     Flora effects
    Agents of weathering

    Wind
    Water
    Glaciers
    Waves of sea
    Types of weathering
    Physical weathering
     Takes place due to the erosion of rocks by air, water or glaciers or it is also due to
    alternate freezing and thawing cycles
     The soils which are formed from the physical weathering having the same
    properties of that of the parent rock
     The soils which are formed from the physical weathering having angular ,sub
    angular or round shaped structures
     The soils which are formed from the physical weathering are known as coarse
    grained soils .
     Ex : sand and gravel
     The soils which are formed from the physical weathering does not have the
    intermolecular forces between them.That is why these are tend to have a single
    grained structure.
    Chemical weathering
     Chemicals which are present in air ,water or glaciers are responsible
     Clay particles are formed
     Plate like structures
     Large specific surface area
     Soils formed from this type of weathering does not have the same properties as
    that of the parent rock
    Biological weathering
     Organic acids released by some bacteria causes a
    special type of weathering know as biological
    weathering.
