GEOLOGY

“ Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but

it is engineering that changes the world.”
-Isaac Asimov
THE SCIENCE OF GEOLOGY
LAYERS OF THE EARTH
GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING

 Engineering Geologists as a “two-faced”

professional looking back at a geologic
process and forward to engineering products.
GEOLOGICAL PROCESS

1.EROSION
2.WEATHERING
3.PLATE TECTONICS
4.VOLCANISM
 FORMATION OF ROCKS

•ROCK FORMATION

1.Crystallization
2.Metamorphism
3.Erosion
4.Sedimentation
THREE(3) MAJOR ROCK TYPES

MAJOR ROCK TYPES:

1. IGNEOUS ROCK
2. SEDIMENTARY ROCK
3. METAMORPHIC ROCK
DEFINITION OF ROCKS:

 ENGINEER
 Rock as a hard and brittle material that requires
blasting to excavate. It is also a permanent, durable
material for erosion control and engineering uses.
 GEOLOGIST
 Rock is an earth material produced by rock formation
and composed of aggregates of one or more minerals
 ARCHITECT
 Rock is a type of building material.
TWO(2) MAIN ENGINEERING
PROPERTIES OF ROCK:

ROCK SUBSTANCE

ROCK MASS
LITHOLOGY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LITHOLOGY
AND GEOLOGY (Madhusha ,2020)
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 It provides knowledge about materials used

for construction.
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 Its knowledge is helpful for river control and

shipping work.
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
 Its knowledge is helpful for constructing
dams.
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 Engineers needs knowledge in geology for

digging/excavation work.
GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 Required for foundation faults.

GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 For highways and roads design.

GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 Soil tests are done before any project.

GEOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

 Nature of soil materials can be find out.
