No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it
without the influence of geology being experienced by the engineer.
Yet geology is an ancillary subject to students of engineering and
it is therefore essential that their training is supported by a
concise, reliable and usable text on geology and its relationship
to engineering. In this book all the fundamental aspects of geology
are described and explained, but within the limits thought suitable
for engineers. It describes the structure of the earth and the
operation of its internal processes, together with the geological
processes that shape the earth and produce its rocks and soils. It
also details the commonly occurring types of rock and soil, and
many types of geological structure and geological maps. Care has
been taken to focus on the relationship between geology and
geomechanics, so emphasis has been placed on the geological
processes that bear directly upon the composition, structure and
mechanics of soil and rocks, and on the movement of groundwater.
The descriptions of geological processes and their products are
used as the basis for explaining why it is important to investigate
the ground, and to show how the investigations may be conducted at
ground level and underground. Specific instruction is provided on
the relationship between geology and many common activities
undertaken when engineering in rock and soil.
