| Course Description |
| Description of minerals and rocks forming the earth crust. Understanding the earth structures and evaluation of geological
maps and cross-sections. Importance of geological factors effecting civil engineering applications such as tunneling,
foundation, deep excavation, slope, dam site and highway. In addition, effects of ground water on engineering applications
and selection of earth materials for construction purposes are also included. Brief summaries of engineering properties,
mechanical behavior and bearing capacity of earth materials are given. Understanding geo-environmental conditions effecting
various applications, and risk evaluation of earthquakes and mass movements. |
