Abstract:
With increasing number of infrastructure projects in India and indications that the next five decades will be punctuated with numerous such projects all across the country, there is an excellent scope for the role of engineering geology in nation development. Characterizing underlying characteristics and potentially dangerous natural processes is how engineering geologists help urban planners and civil engineers build and maintain infrastructure. Realizing the importance of engineering geology, geologists and civil engineers related to infrastructure planning and designing in different infrastructure projects. This paper addresses the need for improving the content of engineering geology for Civil Engineers in India. With advancement in tools and techniques, engineering geological methods now include digital characterization and modeling of the subsurface; new developments in site investigation; testing and performance monitoring. This has been addressed in our paper and suggestions have also been given.
