Engineering geology handwritten notes pdf Geology is the study of earth, the minerals and rocks of which it is made. The study of the structures presents in the rocks and the effects of the natural forces acting upon them is essential to understand by civil engineers because all work performed by them involves earth and its features. The study helps to understand the causes and prevention of many geological activities like earthquakes, landslides and volcano. For a civil engineering project like dams, bridges, buildings etc. to be successful the engineers must understand the foundation rock and their structures, it also ...
