Applied Geology (CIVL 0005) FALL 2018 CW3
Department of Civil Engineering
Module Name- Applied Geology
Module Code- CIVL 0005
Course work-3 (Individual coursework)
Date of submission
–
20-12-2018 (12th week as per MIG)
Max Marks
–
100 (Scaled down to 25 Marks)
OBJECTIVE:
A site investigation is an essential part of the preliminary work on any
important civil engineering project/structure. This course work purpose is to obtain
information about the proposed site that can be used by the engineer to achieve a safe and
economical design. It should be noted that site investigation includes legal and
environmental issues besides ground investigation.
Information retrieved during site investigation is diverse and can include past history,
ground strata, and groundwater depths. Rock and soil samples can also be taken to
laboratory for further investigation; and some in-situ tests also are likely to be conducted.
So, the overall objectives are
❖ to assess the general suitability of the site for the proposed work
❖ to gather relevant information that enables an adequate and economical design
❖ to foresee and provide solutions against difficulties that may arise during construction
❖ to predict any adverse effect on the nearby structures and take corrective actions
Applied Geology (CIVL 0005) FALL 2018 CW3
Outcomes (as mentioned in MIG):
1. Describe how natural and man-induced processes can create environments hazardous to civil
engineers and construction projects, and how appropriate mitigation measures are chosen and
adopted.
TASKIn order to meet the module learning outcomes, students will be given some field and lab test data
collected for a proposed hostel building project for Middle East College. Based on the data students
are asked to prepare a site investigation report (including different rocks types, soil types, geologic
structures, and different construction technologies being used at the site).
(NOTE- Data will be given of hostel building or any building or structure. Prepare a
site Investigation report as mentioned above)
Similarly, students will conduct a literature review regarding environments hazardous to civil
engineers and construction projects, and how appropriate mitigation measures are chosen and
adopted.

in any assignment other than project work, the student will be allowed to re-submit
the assignment once, within a maximum period of one week. However, a penalty of
deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the resubmitted work will be imposed.
❖ b. Period of re-submission: The student will have to re-submit the work one week
