Principles of engineering geology /
Singh, S.K.,
Principles of engineering geology / S.K. Singh. - First edition. - ix, 308 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Geological studies -- Geomorphological studies -- Basic of geological science -- Earthquake engineering -- Palynological engineering -- Hydrogeological engineering.
"Engineering geology is the application of geology to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities. Engineering geology studies may be performed during the planning, environmental impact analysis, civil or structural engineering design, value engineering and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and forensic phases of projects. The book is intended as a standard text for students taking graduate courses in Geology, Civil Engineering, mining engineering, etc."-- Back cover.
