Synopsis
Master practical geology for engineering projects with clear, field-tested guidance.
This edition distills the science of geology into actionable methods engineers can use on real sites. It explains how rock types, water movement, and terrain shape every project—from roads and railways to foundations and water supply.
The book blends theory with hands-on technique, showing how to read the land, map formations, and judge stability and durability. It emphasizes planning, site selection, and how geological insight can prevent costly failures and missteps.- How to interpret rock layers, dips, faults, and formations to predict behavior under construction.
- Practical field procedures for surveying, mapping, and recording geological data.
- Strategies to assess water supply, springs, and drainage for engineering reliability.
- Guidance on selecting sites and planning layouts with geology in mind for safety and efficiency.
