\"Briefly explain and discuss the importance of geology for civil engineers\"

Solution

Geo means earth, logy means studying. Studying about solid earth is known as geology.

civil engineers use geologists to examine rocks for important metals, oil, coal, natural gas and ground water.

Role of civil engineer in geology:

1. Preliminary investigation using of existed data

2, conducting detailed geological survey

3. Collection of soil sample to check the previous data by drilling and boring

Importance of Geology In Civil Engineering:

It is defined as that of applied science which deal with the application of geology for a safe, stable and economic design and construction of a civil engineering project.

Engineering geology is almost universally considered as essential as that of soil mechanics, strength of material, or theory of structures.

The application of geological knowledge in planning, designing and construction of big civil engineering projects.

The basic objects of a course in engineering geology are two folds.

It enables a civil engineer to understand the engineering implications of certain condition should relate to the area of construction which is essentially geological in nature.

    It enables a geologist to understand the nature of the geological information that is absolutely essentially for a safe design and construction of a civil engineering projects.

The scope of geology can be studied is best studied with reference to major activities of the profession of a civil engineer which are dams, roads, tall structures and bridges.

I hope this helps you.
