About
Engineering Geology is fundamental course in translating different information related to geo-ground for sound, safe, stable, naturally compact, environmentally sustainable and economic development of various facilities for safe, and environmentally sustainable progress of civilization and existing ecosystem. This course is comprehensively designed to cover most of aspects related to involvements of engineering geology, thus this course will helps students and professional concern to earth sciences and geotechnology for understanding and solving various kinds of technical problems arises during development of various facilities for human safety and welfare. This course is also relevant to consultants and engineers working with geoground.
Intended audience: Graduate, Post-graduate and Ph.D. students of Geology/Earth sciences and Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geophysics, Environmental Science and Engineering and professional working on problems related to geology/earth sciences, geophysics, civil engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering and environmental science and engineering, and working in the field of energy sector, environment issue, mineral, natural disasters, hydropower, road and bridge construction, railways, construction industries.
Prerequisites: Students should have a sound understanding of mechanical attributes of rock strata and soil layers
