Course Content
Structural characteristics of geographical features. Geological cycles, minerals and rocks. Processes resulting from natural and human activities: potential geological environments for building and civil engineering projects. External processes on sea and land. Internal processes such as earthquake and deformation of rocks. Important topics for civil engineering students include: main rock types, weathering, soil related investigations, transport capacities of rock masses, subsidence in clay and peatlands, pit formation in limestone and chalk areas, water effects in land slopes, techniques and techniques of understanding basic conditions. Land studies and breeding in troubled soil formations.
Objectives of the Course
Teaching of the basic principles of geology and the main connections between Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The causes and measures of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and landslides are given through current applications.
