GEOLOGY

Question 1

Branch of Natural science deals with the study of the Earth, also known as Earth science.

Answer 1

GEOLOGY

Question 2

study the land to determine whether it is stable enough to support the
proposed project. They also study water patterns to determine if a particular site is prone to flooding

Answer 2

Geologists

Question 3

The engineering geologist has to prepare a geological map of the area based on aerial photo and satellite imagery interpretation and field observation. Subsurface geological features are also mapped.

Answer 3

MAPPING

Question 4

n this stage the engineering geologist explore the area based on exploration techniques. The engineering geologist works from the planning stage. Supervise the exploration works and record the data for further interpretation.

Answer 4

EXPLORATION

Question 5

is the most important aspect in civil engineering. The civil engineer plans the various stages. The engineering geologists plans and prepares geologic feasibility and developmental parameters reports, which are useful to the civil engineer for planning the project schedule.

Answer 5

PROJECT PLANNING

Question 6

study the volume of total runoff, drainage basin characteristics, and sedimentary process in the basin. Weathered areas, silting potential, and erosion potential are also estimated before planning any hydraulic structure in the basin.

Answer 6

SURFACE WATER

Question 7

The engineering geologist studies in detail the occurrence, movement, structural controls, and hydrogeological properties of the rocks. Hydrogeological maps are prepared for civil engineering purposes.

Answer 7

GROUND WATER

Question 8

Geological parameters of possible slide regions are studied.

Answer 8

SLOPE STABILITY

Question 9

Think of it like building a sandcastle on the beach - if the sand is too steep or too wet, it will collapse. The same principle applies to larger slopes in construction, but with more serious consequences if they fail.

Answer 9

SLOPE STABILITY

Question 10

Field investigation is carried out for selection of a suitable area. Detailed surface-subsurface studies are conducted and surface and subsurface maps are prepared. The engineering geologist and the civil engineer conduct in-site tests for foundation materials, supervise the construction methods, and monitor the structure after completion of the work.

Answer 10

GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES

Question 11

the tunnel site selected based on a detailed study of the region. The civil engineer and the geologist have to conduct in-site tests for the estimation of weathered zone thickness, depth of hard rock, structural features etc.

Answer 11

TUNNELING

Question 12

studies the seismic nature of the project site.

Answer 12

engineering geologist

Question 13

examines the seismic zoning map of the country, evaluates active and inactive faults and keeps the historical record of the earthquake of the region in which the civil engineer will prepare a seismic design of the structure.

Answer 13

engineering geologist
(EARTHQUAKES)

Question 14

provides a systematic knowledge of construction material, its occurrence, composition, durability, and other properties.

Answer 14

Geology

Question 15

construction materials

Answer 15

building
stones, road metal, clay, limestones and laterite
