Engineering Geology by D Venkat Reddy
Book Summary:

Civil engineering is one of the oldest professions of mankind. All civil engineering activities have to take into consideration one or the other geological aspect during planning. Practicing engineers face several geological challenges in the field almost everyday. Engineering geology helps in proper assessment of civil engineering structures and provides suitable practical solutions to the geological problems encountered during their planning, design and maintenance.

This textbook discusses various branches of geology, internal structure, composition of the earth and provides an introduction to engineering geology. It introduces the fundamentals of geology, such as mineralogy, petrology, structural geology and physical geology which includes features, such as weathering of rocks, soil formation and geological work of rivers, oceans and groundwater. Topics such as mineral resources, their statewise statistics of production, resources and reserves, their commercial uses, ornamental/decorative rock deposits of our country, proposals for linking major rivers of India (Ganga-Cauvery) and similar projects in several other countries, groundwater development and management, etc., have also been discussed in the book.
