Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) B.Tech Engineering Geology & Remote Sensing Notes PDFs for Civil Engineering (CE)

Engineering Geology and Remote Sensing are two key disciplines in the B.Tech Civil Engineering curriculum that help students comprehend the geological elements of engineering projects and how to use remote sensing techniques for data collecting and analysis. These courses teach students how to analyse and manage geological risks, establish the viability of building sites, and use remote sensing technology in a variety of civil engineering applications.

Importance of Engineering Geology & Remote Sensing

Engineering Geology assists in understanding the geological features of a place, such as the composition of soil and rock, groundwater conditions, and geological risks. This information is essential for identifying acceptable building sites and developing proper foundations to ensure the structural stability and safety.

Engineering Geology allows engineers to identify and minimise geological risks such as landslides, rockfalls, and soil liquefaction. Engineers can detect possible risks and apply steps to mitigate their influence on engineering projects by analysing geological data and performing site investigations.

Course Objectives:

1. Geological Processes: Gain a thorough grasp of geological processes such as rock formation, soil development, weathering, erosion, and deposition.

2. Site Investigation Techniques: Learn numerous site investigation techniques used in engineering geology to acquire geological data for engineering projects, such as drilling, sampling, geophysical surveys, and laboratory testing.

3. Geological Mapping and Interpretation: Learn geological mapping and interpretation skills, such as the identification and characterization of various rock types, soil profiles, and geological structures.

4. Geological Hazard Assessment: Recognise the concepts and procedures for assessing and controlling geological risks such as landslides, rockfalls, ground subsidence, and earthquakes.

5. Geotechnical Analysis: Using engineering geology principles, conduct geotechnical analysis, such as slope stability analysis, bearing capacity estimates, and foundation design depending on geological conditions.
